Chris Bray is a wildlife photographer and guide who takes people on photography tours in Alaska. He recently shared footage of a large Alaskan brown bear walking right by him, stepping into the stream, and snatching up a salmon like it’s easy peasy. For most people, this is something they’ve never seen (or will ever see) in real life. Bray decided not to share trending audio with his video, just the sounds of the bear and the running water.

“Enjoy sounds of a huge brown bear wandering right up to you and catching a salmon,” Bray wrote in his Instagram post sharing the footage.
