Brown Bear Resting in Wild Habitat - Alaskan Wildlife Photography #1697752 (License: Personal Use)

A robust adult brown bear lies on its back in a shallow depression of wet, dark mud, with thick fur glistening under soft daylight. Its front paws rest gently across its chest while its hind legs splay outward, and its eyes are closed in apparent relaxation. The surrounding embankment features tufts of green and dry grass, small plants, and exposed soil-typical of coastal Alaskan riverbanks where bears forage and rest.
