A few years ago, I was your typical office-worker: stressed out, uneven energy, overweight, and inconsistent complexion. Now I'm just your typical 28-year old urban hunter-gatherer on a quest to be healthy, and having a few adventures along the way. See my full bio.
Want to know the choice cuts of salmon? Ask a bear:
"Some bears eat only parts of the fish—they bite out the brain, or strip out just the eggs. Other bears leave nothing except a pair of intact testicles draped over a rock or a mossy log. The sperm are made up mainly of nucleic acids (DNA), and they are metabolically hard to digest because they may yield high levels of nitrogenous toxins. In contrast, eggs are mainly yolk—in other words, oils. Often bears delicately skin and eat only the fattest parts of the fish, leaving the rest to be scavenged successively by eagles, martens, ravens, crows, gulls, beetles, and fly larvae. Even deer and squirrels feed on salmon carcasses."
Bears fertilize the forest by leaving behind so many salmon carcasses. Wolves too.
