In Uclulet and Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island, Canada, black bears roam the beaches turning over rocks on the shore in search of tasty clams. You can kayak past them at some distance, in total safety. Further inland, you can stand pretty close to bears fishing the streams for salmon. They are so focused on getting their next meal, they don’t even notice you. I have to say the bears here were pretty hopeless at catching salmon and it was very comical watching them.
