Looper Changes Direction - a photo on Flickriver

            Huge Coastal Brown Bear (Ursus arctos), nicknamed Looper (because she likes to lead photographers around in circles), changes direction surprisingly quickly.  She was heading left to right when a large salmon swam right past her nose.  Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
