fall colors!
Pixnote 1:
Last week I went camping in Mont-Tremblant Park to photograph some fall colors....... while I was returning back in a trail I encountered this black bear family...... they were in the same trail as I was..... so even if I have often seen black bears in the wild , this time I had to be more careful because cubs were around...... so I took a few shots and circle them to go back to my vehicle...... boy....this was fun!

The Black Bear usually ranges in length from 150 to 180 cm (59 to 72 inches) and typically stands about 80 to 95 cm (31 to 37 inches) at the shoulder. Cubs usually weigh 200 to 450 g (between 7 ounces and 1 pound) at birth.
Cubs are generally born in January or February. They are very small, about 10-14 ounces, and are blind, nearly hairless, and helpless when born. Two to three cubs are most common, though up to four and even five cubs has been documented. First-time mothers typically have only a single cub. The mother nurses the cubs with rich milk, and by spring thaw, when the bears start leaving their dens, the cubs are fur-balls of energy, inquisitive and playful. By this time they are about 4 to 8 pounds (2-4 kg). When their mother senses danger, she grunts to the cubs to climb high up a tree. They are weaned between July and September of their first year and stay with the mother through the first winter. The cubs become independent during their second summer (when they are 1.5 years old). At this time, the sow goes into estrus (heat) again.
Cub survival is totally dependent on the skill of the mother in teaching her cubs what to eat, where and how to forage (find food), where to den, and when and where to seek shelter from heat or danger.
