Digging for clams
A grizzly bear is hard at work digging for clams early in the morning at low tide in the Khutzeymateen estuary. Notice how you can see the long fingers/claws digging into the sand. In the springtime the grizzlies supplement their sedge grass diet with clams and other intertidal species that they scavenge along the beaches at low tide.

on July 18, 2019Maybe you could explain how they eat them? Cracked or whole (baked or boiled), just kidding.
