Wildlife Photographer Gets Insane Shot Of An Alaskan Brown Bear From Only A Few Feet Away

Take up an up-close and personal experience. Alaskan brown bears ain’t nothing to mess with. These are massive bears, reaching weights well over 1,000 pounds, all while standing over 8 feet tall. These beasts live in harsh areas, but are well fed with the abundance of food on Alaska’s coasts. Often times, even though they are massive killers, they leave people alone because they are so well fed with the abundance of salmon, berries and other creatures around there. But that doesn’t mean you want to get that close to one of these killers. Unless you are a wildlife photographer like this guy, looking for the best shot possible. Isaac Spotts, a Wyoming wildlife photographer, was out in Alaska looking for some brown bears and he certainly found one. He describes the events best himself, immediately following the wild encounter. “We just had something absolutely crazy happen. We’re in Alaska, filming brown bears and we had a curious, younger bear come up to us in a playful way. And she got within 7 feet of us, and she stood up on her hind legs. She’s a young bear, but she’s still a big, big animal. Over 6 feet tall, she stood up and she swiped in the air, as like a ‘hey, take that’. My heart is still pounding.” I bet it is still pounding, you can’t get any more close than that without some crazy things happening. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9EZojNNqnV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
