# 480 (Otis) is the oldest bear using the Brooks River in Katmai National Park and Preserve.

We meet him and learn about how he as adapted to growing old--he is a patient bear--in this short feature video from Katmai.

Regular watchers of BearCam were concerned this spring, as usual, about him when he failed to show up  but then he is known for lingering in bed. There was a collective sigh of relief when he was reported.

It was great to know that he is back for another season of fishing.
