When asked what makes Katmai such an amazing place for bears, Maxie Johnson, lead guide at EXP Journeys, a luxury travel company specializing in small, private guided tours shared in an email that “By having such a rich food source close by, coastal bears don’t travel as much to meet their daily dietary intake needs. Not only do they travel less and thus burn fewer calories than their foraging inland brethren, they also consume much more protein and fat versus an inland bear relying more on berries, grasses and roots.”
