0:00:02 > 0:00:05'On Deadly 60, I've had loads of incredible animal encounters.

0:00:05 > 0:00:08'Here's just one of my many favourites.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10'This is Deadly 60 Bites.'

0:00:10 > 0:00:11Whoa!

0:00:16 > 0:00:19'This time, I'm in Alaska.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22'I've had a tip off I may be able to see grizzly bears just up ahead.'

0:00:22 > 0:00:24This looks like a really good spot, actually,

0:00:24 > 0:00:28there's a big pool over there that's absolutely full of salmon,

0:00:28 > 0:00:30This is the kind of place that, if I was a bear,

0:00:30 > 0:00:34I would choose to come and hunt.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38I think if we sit here and wait for a while, we might get lucky.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42'Well, the salmon are here, there's only one thing missing.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44'But we didn't have too long to wait.'

0:00:44 > 0:00:47THE CREW SHOUT

0:00:50 > 0:00:53The size of that!

0:00:53 > 0:00:57It's come straight down, it's going to head straight into the water,

0:00:57 > 0:01:00and it's got a young cub, two young cubs! Yearlings!

0:01:01 > 0:01:03How about that?

0:01:03 > 0:01:08The two cubs are right up behind her, they're absolutely beautiful.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Look at the size of her!

0:01:15 > 0:01:19She's just jumped right into the water, scattering salmon everywhere!

0:01:19 > 0:01:24She's got one, she's got her first fish! Look at that!

0:01:24 > 0:01:28'So much bulk, strength and power, but in the end,

0:01:28 > 0:01:31'you'll need skill and accuracy to snare a slippery salmon.'

0:01:33 > 0:01:37You see her shredding that red salmon meat.

0:01:40 > 0:01:45I don't believe how quickly this has happened, this is just unbelievable.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49This is one of the great wildlife sights

0:01:49 > 0:01:51you'll find anywhere in the world.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54The grizzly bear vies with the polar bear

0:01:54 > 0:01:57for the title of the largest land carnivore,

0:01:57 > 0:02:02and it's such an impressive, massive, bulky, powerful animal,

0:02:02 > 0:02:06but yet they can run and move surprisingly quickly.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09They've been clocked running as fast

0:02:09 > 0:02:11as 35, even 40 miles an hour.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Going in for another go.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17And completely immersing herself... and another one!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22And the youngsters are just standing back

0:02:22 > 0:02:24and letting Mum do all the work.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25Wow. Wow!

0:02:31 > 0:02:34The grizzly bear - they may be cute and cuddly,

0:02:34 > 0:02:37but they are a salmon-snatcher extraordinaire.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39And they're definitely going on the Deadly 60.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42Yes!
