Last Stand of the Great Bear
It is an extraordinary place -- one of the largest intact temperate rainforests in North America, a place conservationists call Great Bear. On Canada's Pacific coast north of Vancouver, grizzlies, black bears and wolves roam this ancient forest, and dolphins, seals and killer whales patrol its myriad inlets and bays. Wild salmon runs in the midst of it all -- connecting the forest with the sea. Now, with the Great Bear rainforest under threat from logging, scientists are racing to prove that the palce is so extraordinary that it must be better protected. National Geographic joins a team of experts on a 250-mile scientific adventure as they sail through the pristine waterways of this amazing place.

That was a great show. The footage of the wolves catching salmon was out of this world!

Saw a bit of the show. Was interesting to see the grizzly bears eating only the female chums and only the eggs.

It's pretty well known that the bears would only eat the roe of the female, but it was interesting to see that they would briefly touch the male and then let go right away once realizing it is a male. How does it identify? ;D
