How to skin a salmon

A grizzly bear sitting in shoulder deep water demonstrates how to strip the skin off a salmon carcass, Chilko Lake, British Columbia. Like the eggs and the brain, salmon skin is an important source of the fat that sustains bears through their winter hibernation.

    Between those big claws and those big teeth, it makes it look like "a piece of cake" as they say! It may be a treat like cake to these grizzlies too!
