Sensing danger

A mother grizzly, sensing danger, rears up on the river bank to protect her cub. The greatest danger to cubs are adult male grizzlies who will kill unrelated cubs to mate with the female. There are lots of flying insects in this shot. Chilko River, Cariboo Chilcotin, British Columbia.

    Wonderful capture of the momma bear being so alert and ready to protect the cub that seems to be hiding behind her.

    Just like a "Mother Bear" to protect her young...and so it is with human mothers, as well!

    She sure is standing tall, very alert, checking out the surroundings! Cute cub sitting down behind her, hiding behind her "skirts" so to speak.

    The grizzly mothers are fiercely protective of the cubs as they should be. The males are so dangerous to the young. Great shot and I like the bright circles in the scene which I believe would be the flying insects.

    Wonderful capture of this moment of the mother grizzly ready to protect her cub...superb sharp detail and I like the circles of light reflections! (I don't know what to call them....)

    Excellent shot. At least she's not looking in your direction trying to spot trouble!
