This footage shows a coastal brown bear resting in its natural habitat at Tuxedni Bay. This remote coastal inlet is located within the boundaries of Lake Clark National Park in southwest Alaska.

Lake Clark National Park contains diverse ecosystems, including volcanoes, alpine glaciers, deep lakes, and coastal shorelines. Tuxedni Bay is a notable area for bear viewing. The bay’s salt marshes and sedge meadows provide a reliable food source, drawing high concentrations of brown bears that come to graze and fish during the summer months.

In this short clip, a brown bear lounges in the tall green grass against a backdrop of dense Alaskan forest. It offers a quiet look at the local wildlife, capturing bears behaving naturally in the wild.
