How fast can a brown bear run? The standard answer is up to 35 miles an hour, but the more relevant question is ‘how fast can they move?’ Lightning fast. A good example would be Otis, the old, enormous brown bear often seen fishing in Brooks Falls. He would sit still for hours in the base of the falls, seemingly asleep and then suddenly lunge forward, grabbing a salmon. #wildlifeaddicts #fast #bears #animals #animalkingdom #ourplanetdaily #wild #alaskawildlife @kodiakairservice | Kodiak Island E
