WATCH: Alaskan brown bears fishing for salmon on live webcam
Brown bears are beefing up for winter hibernation by fishing for salmon in the Brooks River of Katmai's National Park on the Alaskan Peninsula.

ALASKA (KGO) -- The brown bears of Katmai's National Park & Preserve in remote Alaska have picked up quite the Internet fam over the years.

A live webcam has been following their fishing expeditions as they beef up for a winter of hibernation to come.

The man and a friend can be seen yelling at the bear to get out of the car, which it had entered on its own.

Brooks Falls in the remote area of Alaska's southern peninsula provides the perfect natural roadblock for the hungry bears to wait for a juicy meal -- migrations of fresh, 4,500-calorie sockeye salmon that are making the journey upstream to lay their eggs.
