According to the Telegraph, the war takes place in a poetic setting: a golden lawn near the river and the far side is a mountain range covered with snow. Although a bear has a larger body than a rival, the battle is still fierce and persistent. After wrestling and slapping each other for about 15 minutes, they showed their attitude of reconciliation and headed towards a nearby river to catch fish.

Scott Cromwell - an amateur photographer in Homer City, Alaska, USA - captured the scene on a trip to explore Katmai National Park, Alaska state by plane.

"The pilot landed after we saw two bears catch salmon on the river bank. We approached and observed them from a position about 75 meters from two bears. Suddenly they stopped catching fish and Run to the gap between us and the mountain, the smaller bear runs out first, the other chases along with a lot of growls, they walk around a few times and wrestle right before our eyes after about 15 minutes I think both of them do not want to fight again because they are tired and hungry, and soon they run to the river bank to keep catching salmon , "Cromwell said.
