Salmon are a delicatessen for bears, who sometimes fight fiercely to obtain the best fish. These tasty, high-calorie river fish allow plantigrades to store fat for the winter slumber . The most dominant bears are very prim and wasteful: they feed on 25% of each fish, of which they only take advantage of the fattiest parts, such as roe. In many cases, they do not eat a bite when they discover that the captured specimen is a male or female that has already spawned. The good thing about this waste is that, since bears tend to move away from the water to eat, they leave the remains of salmon carcasses on the ground that end up fertilizing the forests.
