After catching a salmon in a river, bears walk to the forest to eat it. They eat the fatty parts of the fish such as the brain, skin and eggs. The rest of the fish feeds birds, insects, invertebrates, and trees.

@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social good to know. I have often wondered why you see salmon carcasses near the water still with meat on the bones.

@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social the belly meat is also rich with fat, and of course the males have milt not eggs and the bears go for that too. A hungry bear will eat the whole fish, when pickings are slim.
