We’re clammin’, clammin’, and I hope you like clammin’ too…
The coastal grizzly bears of the Khutzeymateen have many sources of food. In the spring, they rely on protein-dense sedge grass to bulk up for the mating season. During the fall they feast on salmon as they begin to prepare for hibernation. Throughout the year, they have another steady source of calories: clams. The bears can be found at low tide carefully digging through the sand to find these snacks. Unlike the other ways they eat, this is not something they do instinctually; instead, they must learn it from their mothers as cubs.
