Bears

While in Ford's Terror, we had the good fortune to see Brown Bears, close up from the dinghy. This post is just bear pictures-because there were so many good ones! The first encounter was with a sow and 2 cubs on this grassy stretch where they can eat sedges.

The grass was so tall, sometimes the cubs stood up on their hind legs to check on us.

The next encounter was along the rocky shoreline at low tide close to our anchored boats. A sow and her cub walked along the shoreline to get to a meadow. The sow was clearly aware of us, but didn't seem to be concerned.

Notice the teeth on this soft-looking teddy bear.

Junior is trying to keep up and copying everything Mom does.

Mom turned over a rock with no effort looking for crunchy crustaceans.

Junior had a tougher time with it.

The bears were clearly here for a photo shoot.

Time to go now.
