Grizzly Bear family

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.
