We were so lucky to find this Polar Bear mom with 3 two year old cubs on the pack ice. It is rare for a female to successfully raise 3 cubs. And this 'super mom' has done it three times. She must be an awesome hunter. When we first came upon them they were feeding on a Bearded Seal kill. The cubs look almost full grown and will probably leave mom and be on their own soon.
Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) having a drink on the shores of the delta of the K'tzim-a-deen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary north of Prince Rupert along the maritime coast of British Columbia, Canada.
The inlet is about a 30 minute flight by float plane, north of Prince Rupert. The tour of 6 wildlife photographers (including myself) was 5 days long and run by Ocean Light II Adventures. We stayed at the entrance of the reserve in a 72 ft sail boat (Ocean Light II) and accessed the reserve in a 19 ft Zodiac and spent most of the day looking for grizzly bear activity. It was a truly remarkable trip which I will remember forever!!!

This is one of the twin bear cubs that I photographed with their mother at Coal Harbor on Vancouver Island last month. I uploaded the whole family here www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/48832351888/in/dateposted/ but they wandered so close I could barely fit a single bear cub in the frame. This is an American Black Bear cub, the most widespread species of bear in North America.
American Black Bears mate in June and July but the fertilised egg does not implant in the womb until November. Gestation is 235 days from mating, so the cubs are born in late January or early February. So this cub will be about 7 months old as it was photographed on 13 September. They become independent from their mother after 16-18 months. By that age they can be similar in size to their mother.
An unusual find of a little bear left beside a granite pillar in one of the stone circles on Mardon Moor. The small ceramic bear had a cup attached to its back with an empty miniature flower pot within. I wonder what tale the bear could tell if only it could talk?
Behind the pillar and beyond the Down itself, a line of coniferous trees lines the edge of the Teign Valley. Mardon Down is an outlier area of moorland towards the north east edge of Dartmoor, hence the more enclosed nature of the farmland towards the horizon.

While mining my disk drive for a lost image, I came across this photo which i had never finished processing.
I took this picture from a small island in the river where I had been fly fishing - until this bear showed up! The bear had chased this salmon up the channel behind the island into a shallow stretch. Then, with remarkable deftness, it swiped at the fish and then snagged it. It only took a few minutes before the whole salmon had been consumed. The bear sauntered off to continue fishing for salmon, and I returned to fishing for rainbow trout.
This is one of several photos I took of a Grizzly bear during my recent trip to Montana. My first in photographing a Grizzly. It's not a great photo because of the water reflection and/or the shaft of sunlight coming over the bears shoulder. I used a telephoto lens, stayed in my car or very close to it, so not to concern the bear, and stay safe.

One of the orphaned rescue Grizzly Bears that live in a 5 acre reserve on Grouse Mountain, Vancouver, Canada. It was wonderful to be able to see them up close. When we first arrived, I couldn't see them, but Peter spotted the fur of one sleeping in the forest. After a while it started to move down the ice and not long after the other bear came down too.
They were rescued in 2001 and they are not brothers. One was found wandering alone and the other was beside his dead mother.
This bear and her cub were often on the beach or nearby trail between our campground and the main Brooks Falls area, so we often had to wait to get where we were going, or take long detours through the woods to keep our distance. Here we're 133 meters away, according to my EXIF data, which is well over the 100 yards you're supposed to yield to the bears.
Of course there are times when the bears come to you and you can't maintain that distance. On two different occasions we were walking on trail when we heard people shouting "bears on trail!" and "bears coming!" and found pairs of subadults racing towards us. Once we just had time to step off trail a few steps as they galloped past chasing each other at racehorse speed, and pretty much oblivious to us. Another time we were on the path through a swampy area just after the bridge and lookout over Brooks River. They came galloping around the bend and we stepped aside, but could only get a meter or two off the path because of the wetland. This time the bears slowed down and looked at us as they walked by, and we talked gently to them to assure them we were humans and not really interesting. By that time we'd spent enough time around these bears and were used to the drill so that it wasn't too scary, but then again we're not likely to forget it, either.

Bear Lake which straddles the Utah/Idaho border. This photo, taken from an overlook on the Utah side, looks across the the southeast corner of Idaho at snow capped mountains which are in Wyoming. This photo was taken on Dec. 10, and would normally be covered with snow by now. Not yet this year, but maybe tomorrow. Best viewed large.

I was driving through Idaho on my way to Yellowstone so I made a morning stop at Yellowstone Bear World, a drive-through animal park near Rexburg. Not exactly a wildlife photographer's cup of tea, but the springtime yield of young black bear cubs in the petting zoo area was simply not to be missed. These guys had boundless energy and kept the fast-paced games going non-stop. It was simply a delightful experience, "worth the price of admission" (thanks, PattyB for the rec). Captions?
So here I am trying to get a really nice photo of these acorns strewn about on the ground, and this bear just came along and sat down. Damn bear.
Male Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) wandering the shoreline of the K'tzim-a-deen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary north of Prince Rupert along the maritime coast of British Columbia, Canada.
It is breeding season for these bears and the males wander the shoreline in search of receptive females. They sometime encounter males in a similar mode and fights do ensue. This bear has the wounds of recent encounters with another male.
The inlet is about a 30 minute flight by float plane, north of Prince Rupert. The tour of 6 wildlife photographers (including myself) was 5 days long and run by Ocean Light II Adventures. We stayed at the entrance of the reserve in a 72 ft sail boat (Ocean Light II) and accessed the reserve in a 19 ft Zodiac and spent most of the day looking for grizzly bear activity.

Some bear cubs, from the Finnish forest.
I have a blog post here with more info about bear watching in Finland.
I particularly like this shot, with the mother bear filling the background of the frame.
Little Bear will be for adoption today Wednesday, December 20th at 19:00 spanish timezone (GMT+1).
As always, more info and pics in my web! ^_^
Each bear has a different fishing technique. Some, like this bear, charge into the water and pounce.
His younger sister Juno is in his line of sight, and he seemed quite interested in her. Probably because he hasn’t really seen another Polar Bear that’s so small compared to him.

Bear had complained that I hadn't taken him on any hikes for a long while.
We watched the sun rise and listened to the Sandhill Cranes fly through the river fog.
And we liked it.
