This first year cub was taking a rest in the mid-afternoon. I had posted this earlier, but corrected for a blue color cast. I think it a better photo now. Thanks to frangipani for his input and suggestion
A Mama Brown Bear helps her cub cross an inlet stream to Jenny Lake. The swift current caused the little one to drift and Mom came to the rescue.
There were 3 cubs total. but couldn't get all three in the scene. It took quick action as it was, but their distance between each other prevented getting all three together.
(For Dana ...a belated HTBT!)
Snow leopard (Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia), also called ounce, is a carnivore that inhabits the mountainous regions of central Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
Its litters of two to four young are born after a gestation period of approximately 93 days.
Snow leopards have pretty long tails. About 80 – 100 cm in length as against its body length of 48 – 60 cm.
The snow leopard uses its bushy tail to keep balance when it jumps.
The tail allows the leopard to maneuver rather quickly.
The leopard uses its tail as a blanket when it is asleep, it wraps the tail around their body.
The snow leopard population is estimated to be only a few thousand animals, and the species is thus considered endangered.
A tightly cropped shot of this adorable white-phase black bear cub seen a few years ago.
It had rained hard all night and was chilly. Not sure how old she was but she was tiny. That dark color behind her is mother, so she was close by. I spent quite awhile watching them from a safe distance. Felt so bad for her, as she was cold and miserable. Mom was busy eating so she could better feed them but kept her eye on them as they explored and played. Best bear experience of my life.
I was pleased later to find reports and pictures of this family on line. Was concerned whether they survived. Last report they are fine and looking good. Relieved.
Have a wonderful weekend!
De retour de mes vacances d'une semaine à Cayo Santa Maria, Cuba. Une belle semaine qui a fait beaucoup de bien.

Named Yembé, this male lion cub, about 5 months old, was found in a forest in the south of France by a walker. First rescued by the Foundation "30 Millions d'Amis", he was placed in the Association "Tonga Terre d'Accueil" which has already saved two lion cubs from wildlife trade since the start of this year and which works to find them a future like those saved in 2019 who now live in a sanctuary in South Africa...
Fondation 30 millions d'Amis : fight against abandonment, animal testing and animal trade, make aware of public awareness, change the laws and status of animals.
Tonga Terre d'Accueil : wildlife refuge for animals victims of wildlife trade, seized or abandoned.

I've seen coyotes in our neighborhood before, but never a wolf! Luckily it was just a cub, and the mother seemed friendly :)
This is an image from a trip to Yellowstone a few years ago. With Yellowstone, it takes a few days or longer to get a sense of what is going on with the wildlife; where the dens are located, where there's been a kill, what's the best place to get lucky and get a sighting and hopefully a photograph. I learned the general area where there was a Coyote den and managed to get there during the female's relocation, cub by cub, to a new unknown location. I believe she moved the remaining cubs during the night as there was no activity days following. (Canis latrans)
An unexpected bonus to run into this little chap on our daily walk

This is how you throttle an antelope young fellow, where you are the antelope and I the hungry lion.
