Tug of war

A mother grizzly and her cub in a tug of war over a salmon carcass, Chilko Lake, British Columbia. The mom has her left front paw raised and used it to press down on the salmon to win the tug of war. She then took the carcass into the woods where the cub got to share.

    Another great bear behavioral shot! At least mom was willing to share after she won the tug of war!

    The cub seems to be pulling hard, but mom wins the tug of war. Great timing and nice POV!

    This makes me smile! Mom still knows best. And used her mom trick to win the tug of war. But, in the end she shared with her cub! Fabulous capture Terry!
