This gorgeous chunky black bear just spotted a delicious salmon. At this time of year, bears consume up to 20,000 calories per day. It is called hyperphagia. I can only wish I could eat that much! 😆

@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social sleeping/napping without eating for a few months puts a dent in those calories
@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social I heard they only eat the heads and skin because those are the fattiest parts, and ever since then I've felt like I should befriend a bear friend for infinite salmon fillets
@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social I would love to have such a lifestyle - get fat in the Autmn, sleep through Winter and wake up slim in the Spring to have a good time in the Summer and get fat again!
@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social Do your bears hibernate even though you are get quite a mild winter? He looks like he's going to do well, what a wonderful shot.
@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social It seems that they need a lot of food to get those calories 😋.
I do not know more about these beers because they are not existing in our country
@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social Mēh! I envey the reptiles, that eat now and then... I want to feast on Tuesday and then spend the rest of the week digesting and eat again next Wednesday...
Mamalls? Hurumph!!

Hyperphagia is what I must have during my late night snacking! 🤣🤣
