- Description: With an inquisitive stare and powerful paws, half covered in mud, this close up from an inbound brown coastal bear makes for a formidable portrait. On the mud flats, brown bears dig deep for clams, with their huge shovel like paws and claws, becoming smothered in viscous mud and sand, so too their noses as they eat the tasty contents.
