Episode Details

Two grizzly cubs met tragic ends at Alaska’s Katmai National Park, captured live on bear webcams — one killed by a female bear, another attacked and died after climbing into a tree. Park officials blame a perfect storm: last year’s record salmon run led to more cubs this spring, but this year’s average run and high water have forced bears into a crowded, competitive zone around Brooks Falls. With over thirty cubs and mothers packed into a small area, aggression has surged — even among females, normally passive in such conflicts. Witnesses saw one cub from Bear 335’s litter attacked by a stranger; the mother pulled it down, but the cub died. Rangers stress these are natural, unavoidable outcomes of survival in the wild — no intervention allowed unless human safety is at risk. Cub survival here hovers between 33% and 50%, and these cameras reveal nature’s raw, unfiltered truth.
