These two cubs love playing with their mom.

Greetings with collar on are tricky - she gets too excited to let me take it off at first, so for a minute or two I need to try not to get beaten up by the collar before she calms down enough to let me remove it 😊

Regardless of how the animal dies, carcasses are a critical part of the ecosystem that provide much needed food sources for numerous species, including everything from grizzly bears to magpies.

Although different species will jockey with one another for the chance to feed, there is generally a hierarchy with grizzlies at the top. Wolves will often give way when a grizzly bears wants its turn on a carcass.

Sometimes, however, even a solo wolf is bold enough to challenge the biggest, baddest critter out there.

In the Hayden Valley of Yellowstone National Park, this solo wolf (likely from the Wapiti Lake Pack) tested Grizzly Bear 791 while it tried to feed on a fresh bison carcass.

While Grizzly 791 was able to feed for a bit, it did not do so in peace. Eventually it had enough of the constant harassment and left the carcass to the wolf.

🫎

A mama moose is one of the most protective animals in the wild. After giving birth, usually to one or two calves, she devotes herself entirely to their survival. Calves are vulnerable in their first weeks, and the mother stays close, guiding them to food and shelter while keeping a sharp eye out for predators. Her size and strength alone are enough to deter many threats, and when necessary she will charge with remarkable speed and power to defend her young.

Despite her imposing presence, there is also a gentleness in how a mama moose nurtures her calves. She teaches them how to browse for plants, how to move through water, and how to recognize danger. The bond lasts for about a year, until the calves are old enough to survive on their own. Watching a mother moose with her young is a reminder of the resilience and determination found in nature, as well as the deep instincts that drive care and protection across species.

Meet the mother we call Bearnice and her two spring cubs. Also meet our camp bear we call “Soup” because of a long story. Anyway, I think Soup may be be one of Bernice’s old cubs born around 8 years ago because he likes to hang around her, but she needs to remind him with force that when she stakes out a fishing spot it is hers. Soup has zero intention of harming her cubs- this is a claim of fishing rights and personal space.
The natural habitat adventures group gets a close view of the action. Filmed while guiding photo expedition at lodge in .
Some male bears, and even females will kill cubs for food, not to bring the female back into estrus as some used to believe, but that had nothing to do with this dispute. Mother coastal brown bears and grizzlies ( same species) have a formidable and violent temper when they cubs, much more extreme than black bears because they evolved in a treeless environment and there were no trees for the cubs to climb to safety as was the case for black bears. Female Ursus Arctos ( coastal brown/grizzly bears) had to fight to the death to protect their cubs from larger predators and they evolved a reputation for being too relentless and ferocious for anything to care to tangle with. Not AI. 🐻

Insane moment a brown bear runs right up to us while fishing for sockeye salmon in Alaska

This moment of the big male boar sneaking up on mom + 3 babies was scary! The survival rate of spring cubs is very low. These 3 ran fast back to her den and mom will do everything possible to protect them . I would have been devastated to see the male get closer. Bear behavior is fascinating but often sad with fights, cubs being killed or turf battle's.
