Hi Jane: I swear they are non threatening. They are so full of salmon and we are not natural prey. Thanks for the great comment.

Great shot. You know you are too close when you can see the blood vessels in their eyes. You are in a very exciting environment!

Thank you Dennis. We are only allowed to get so close to the bears in order not to disturb them. This fellow decided to visit us !!!

Description
This Grizzly Bear was very interested in us. He stared at us for a great length of time and ever came towards us. He was very close to our boat in this shot. Not the least bit threatening though.
