episode description
When Spring comes one animal arrives in its thousands. It’s the salmon. Travelling an incredible 3500 miles through rivers and streams they are Alaska’s hardiest resident. Using their muscular bodies they can swim up stream jumping over any obstacle that comes in their way. But there is one grizzly hazard they face right at the end of their journey. It’s the brown bears. These expert fishermen use skill and accuracy to grab onto the salmon with their powerful teeth. And after the harsh winter, this is a long awaited delicious meal for the bears. But it isn't just bears hunting salmon... the people are too. With salmon running right into the heart of the city Anchorage is a hot spot for fishermen hoping to land a prize catch..... but with around 60 brown bears roaming the city, also on the hunt for these urban fish, conflicts are on the increase.....
