They're back.
Each year, about 100 Alaskan brown bears make their way to the Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska, to dine on tasty sockeye salmon as they make their way upstream. And it's right in time for prime fishing season -- July through the first week or two of August.

The live streams, provided by Explore.org, feature three views of the park. Most of the action, including an intense bear fight captured on Monday, can be seen on Brooks Falls cam, but if you're looking for a more relaxing scene, check out the view from Dumpling Mountain or the lower river cam where Brooks River meets NakNek Lake.
This mile-long stretch of the Brooks River is one of the largest sockeye salmon runs in the world, attracting as many as 100 bears, which can consume up to 40 fish daily.
Explore.org, which is working with Katmai National Park, uses solar panels, wind turbines, microwave uplinks and remote controlled cameras to get a view of the bears that doesn't harm the environment.
Although the bears are active 24 hours a day, the cams occasionally show pre-recorded footage. However, the best times to watch the cameras start at 9 a.m. ET.
