This is a female Grizzly Bear with her twin cubs. They would be about 8 months old here and were a male and female. The larger, blond cub was the male. Their mother was very adept at catching salmon which she would leave for her cubs, then go off to catch another. But each time she caught a new salmon the cubs would abandon the one they were eating so they could have the latest catch. The salmon is a Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta), that has a look of horror on its face and a trickle of blood running down its side. This was taken on the Nekite River in British Columbia.

A brown bear with her two cubs on a cold windy day in Alaska! This photo was taken at Lake Clark National Park and Preserve!
Our community has a curbside pickup in the spring when homeowners can set out things they no longer use or want to throw away.
I hope this bear was rescued by someone.
Spring cubs, Coastal Brown Bears (Ursus arctos). Of course, being bear cubs, they spent a lot of time knocking each other around. However, they are sisters, with a strong bond. At the end of the day, they are close. Silver Salmon Creek, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
Such a delight to find these on Rogers Pass on the way home! There was probably a hundred other photographers there today...it was a scene I'll never forget viewing these gorgeous and somewhat uncommon flowers that only grow in high elevations! :) I am having a terrible time loading my photos...been trying for several hours...don't know if it's Flickr or internet...anyone else having problems?
ODESSA: "Otis, get up! It's snowing harder and harder. We won't find you later!
OTIS: "I thought I would test what it's like to be under the snow."
PAT: "Don't be stupid....you're freezing! I already want hot tea!"

Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday! 🐻🐻🐻
in a good morning mood he left the baerengraben in bern and walked straight into the forest huerstholz in zurich.
Polar Bear GIOVANNA was born on 28 November 2006 in Fasano, Italy. She moved from Fasano to #TierparkHellabrunn (Munich Zoo) at the age of 14 months. Giovanna is considered a polar bear of exceptional beauty. She loves playing games and constantly invents new ones. This includes chasing any ball after pushing it away and spending time experimenting with different objects to see how far she can let them stick out from a cliff before they eventually fall down.

This bear has been hanging on the fence near the trailhead of Tassajara Ridge for quite some time. Yet no one bothers to remove it. When I first saw it, it happened to be at the blue hour. How weird.

Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) pair in an amorous state prior to breeding. There were periods of gentle contact intermixed with biting along the neck of the female. Interesting behaviour to observed.
This took place during a guided trip to the K'tzim-a-deen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary in the Khutzeymateen Inlet along the west coast north of Prince Rupert, 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 daily in a 19 ft Zodiac and spent most of the day looking for grizzly bear activity.
Our guide was amazed at the number of times we encountered this mating behaviour. He indicated that it was quite unusual to see this many breeding encounters as the bears tended to be more secretive in his past experiences.

Being able to encounter a grizzly bear up close is definitely an experience to remember. The sheer size and power of these magnificent animals will remind you of your place in nature.
As amazing as it is to witness these bears, it is important to remember to respect these wild animals if you come across them in nature by staying your distance

It is breeding season and both the males and females are wandering the coast in search of a prospective mate.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
I captured this image in western Wyoming.. What a treat to watch this Grizzly Bear and her two active cubs. I believe this photo is of a well known bear.

There is not a way to describe the inspiring feeling of standing among bears, within a few meters, in their territory, capturing them in their natural habitat without any stress caused by your presence. This is the unique experience you can have in certain areas of Alaska.
and doing it backwards even, LOL, or so it looks like.
Wonder if I could do this on Cav or Pete, hmmm. Probably not a good idea to try it.
I'll catch up with you all later. Gotta run.

Denver's "Big Blue Bear" is a 40 foot (12.2 m) fiberglass and steel sculpture by artist Lawrence Argent. Officially the bear's title is "I See What You Mean". He was installed in 2005 at a cost of $424,000. He looks into the Colorado Convention Center, symbolizing curiosity about what is transpiring at the conventions being held within.
This sculpture is one of several massive art works that are sprinkled around the Denver downtown. The "Big Blue Bear", resembling a child's toy, is one of the more endearing to residents.
The last trip that Mike and I made was to Bear Lake yesterday morning. The wind had been blowing hard all night long (believe me, I know....I was sleeping in a tee pee) and it made for some amazing cloud formations. The mornging light gave the mountains a warm glow.
Scout and Peter come to the rescue
In a storm on the North Sea, a teddy bear on a sailboat is in trouble. Peter springs into action along with his very best friend Scout.
PETER: (calling Scout)
Rrrring.....rrrring....(phone is picked up)
Hello my very best friend Scout. Glad to have you on the phone right away. Can you come as soon as possible? A teddy bear on a sailboat has run into trouble in the North Sea. A violent storm is blowing and the sailboat is in danger of capsizing. Can you bring a thick rope?
I'll bring my swimming band.
Yes...yes...ok
Thank you
Peter runs with his rubber ring to the magical portal, opens the door and throws the rubber ring into the North Sea. The teddy bear has fallen out of the sailing boat and he swims to the rubber ring. The water is cold...very cold...and wet
PETER:
I'm coming to rescue you teddy bear in yellow coat along with my best friend Scout. Don't be afraid.
Scout has arrived and throws the rope to teddy bear who holds the rope firmly.
SCOUT:

Are you ready Peter?
PETER:

Welcome to Seward Harbor! Want a fish?
This bear carving is set along the boardwalk ovelooking Seward Harbor.
Even from a boat, watching an adult Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) from a safe distance, the bear is an impressive sight. Here an adult Polar Bear caught our scent when the wind shifted. These bears will stalk and kill humans - we are on their menu - so we were happy to be on a boat with a working motor. Stuck around just long enough to get some frame-filling images of this awesome and beautiful animal.
Kaktovik, Barter Island, Arctic Alaska
This brown bear was rescued about a year ago by Yorkshire Wildlife Park after spending 17 years in a tiny concrete floored cage. Looking really healthy and happy now playing in the water in a large enclosure with his brother.
Even in "bear paradise," mother Brown Bear has it tough. She caught a big salmon and began munching on it - but the gulls and her own cub didn't let her enjoy it in peace. The birds were smart enough to wait for the scraps, but a few times the cubs teamed up: one distracted her while the other snatched a fish right out from under her. Here the male cub started howling but mom didn't fall for it. Low tide on The Cook Inlet, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
