The salmon feast of the black bears in Ketchikan
(Alaska-USA)
On September 3, 2010 we were (Antonio Silveira and Gianine Luiza) in cruise travel in the southwest of Alaska, USA, were we visited Ketchikan, a former Indian village.
Ketchikan is one important gateway to others natural places to visit Alaska.
We spended two-hour in Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary to observe the American black bear (Ursus americanus), that is a private reserve of 4,000 acres, with the creek Eagle Creek as the main observation site because the site is up and spawning of four species of salmon. According to information from the local guide 23 black bears lives in the area. We saw 6 than "salmon fishing".

Tourists watch the bears walking in one walkway whit 3 to 5 feet tall, positioned between the giant trees. It is a spectacular place. The forest is beautiful.
Near the mouth of the river is an enterprise of raising salmon eggs using natural method, allowing the natural ascent of salmon to the tanks through pipes placed in the stream.
Both the river into the forest, and in the open is observed everywhere, salmon die naturally, the vast majority of laying. We can see bears, bald eagles and gulls eating salmon.
