A Price to be Paid 3I9533
As cubs, brown bears “play fight.” The activities are, at the very least, entertaining and are usually heartwarming and hysterical. They do so to keep themselves busy but these role plays are also preluding to the need for defense as an adult. In mature bears the activities are anything but cute and at times they can be downright terrifying. You might imagine that when a number of bears gather at an estuary of finite size to fish and feed with cubs in tow things can get a bit tense. Cubs are off limits to any other adult bear except their mother. And boars, given the opportunity, are noted to attack and kill young cubs. So, when this young boar, on the left, got just a bit too close to this sow’s cubs there was just a little price to be paid. Despite his greater size, she attacked him and chased him off. #BrownBears
