Two Alaskan brown bears fighting over salmon. This is a fight for survival. If you look closely the bear on the right has an open fracture of his mandible (jaw). Although salmon are plentiful the bears who have difficulty catching them will find it necessary to steal from the other bears…if they can. Nature can be brutal.

It's hard to see what is wound and what is salmon, but man, what a shot. To top it off, you have this seagull(?)flying by looking at the action. Epic!
Thanks! Yeah, it's hard to see the broken jaw. I can't imagine eating like that AND having to fight another bear for the food that would be nearly impossible to eat anyway...
