The bear investigates the trial camera and moves it, positioning the moose now to the right of center. The bear appears to have a tapeworm stuck to his fur.
Gallery Details
ADF&G wildlife technician Jeff Jemison placed a remote trail camera on the carcass of a dead moose north of Juneau on March 26, 2010. That night a GPS collared wolverine investigated. A few days later, on April 4, a brown bear recently emerged from hibernation discovered the carcass and spent the next two days and nights scavenging. At one point the bear moves the camera, and resets the frame so the moose carcass is on the far right. After rolling in the carcass, moose hair can be seen stuck to its fur.
