Sockeye Salmon

Sockeye Salmon are minor characters that appear in Brother Bear and its sequel. They are a group of Alaskan ray fish that live in the salmon run area, where bears like to eat them.

Brother Bear
A group of salmon are seen swimming and jumping along the salmon run area. Many bears manage to catch some to eat. When Kenai (transformed into a bear) attempts to catch one, the salmon jump out of the water and slap Kenai in the face with their tail fins.

During the post-credits when Koda tells the viewers that "no fish were harmed during the making of this film," one of the salmon is seen being chased by an adult bear, and as the salmon is screaming for help, Koda covers the camera with his paws so the audience couldn't see the bear eat the fish, but the salmon can still be heard getting eaten.

Trivia

 * They were based on real-life.
 * During the post-credits, one of the salmon can be heard talking as he was being chased by a hungry bear. It is unknown which actor voiced this salmon.
