Brown Bear Catching Salmon in Yunnan Rain

Raindrops streak through the clear late-afternoon light, striking the dark surface of the river in Yunnan. A brown bear stands waist-deep in the water, its wet fur matting into dark, earthy tones. The animal extends a massive paw, jaws clamped around a silver salmon that flashes briefly against the gray water. Droplets rest on the bear's snout and drip from its thick coat, creating small ripples that spread outward. The background dissolves into soft, out-of-focus greens and browns, isolating the predator and its catch. One raindrop hangs suspended on the tip of the bear's ear before falling back into the stream.
