• Black Bear Eating Salmon Eggs shows a typical technique for bears to remove the eggs.
  • They often just press on the belly of the salmon and the eggs extrude out the vent and they lap them up.
  • I once looked at about 18 salmon on the upper bank of a stream well above the water level.
  • All of the fish were females and none had been opened or eaten by bears.
  • The bears simply moved them to high ground and pressed on their bellies to extrude the eggs.
