As summer comes to a close, Katmai National Park and Preserve's salmon-grabbing brown bears are bulking up for winter.
There's still time to watch the bears and their expanding girth as they catch salmon in Katmai National Park, home to one the world's highest concentration of brown bears, according to the National Park Service.
The park's bear cam is a popular feature that, during the height of the summer season, is viewed by tens of thousands of people on a given day, the park said in a release.
The live stream camera is aimed at the Brooks River, where many iconic photographs have been taken of salmon jumping straight into the mouths of waiting bears.
On Aug. 29, Katmai National Park tweeted that most bears leave the area in August, only to return with "significantly more body fat" in September.
After an August absence, bear 409 has returned to the falls looking large!

Many bears leave the Brooks River area in August when the salmon run slows. Most return in September with significantly more body fat.
