I recently had trip to North Yellowstone and Tetons area, in North area I was trying to find wolves but no success. There were lot of wolves in Lamar valley but wasn’t close enough for a decent photo. In Tetons, as usual, Grizzly activity was good enough for visitors and photographers to create multiple bear jams throughout the park on everyday. There were several sightings of the famous (perhaps the most photographed wild animal in the world) 399 and four cubs, all four cubs and momma looking good and active. Here are some of the pics from this trip.
Comments and CC appreciated.

Shibu - Great work! Love the shots of 399 and her cubs. The Eared Grebes are stunning. I bet we just missed each other in the park(s). Thanks for sharing these.

All great, really like fox and grebes
Shibu, you did it again and again! Those are wonderful and impressive images; all of them but the first fox image in B&W and the bear and bear cub images are just exquisite! They EMV!
Brand new here, but what an intro to the forum were these images for me!
Love the BW of the fox, and the shot of the single grebe splashing water into the air. Water droplets frozen in motion will always thrill my soul. Beautiful work!
I was wondering-- were the fox's feet obscured behind something from your shooting perspective, that you excluded them from the frame? I would love to have seen what her little paws look like.

Thanks for sharing your gorgeous shots, Shibu!
Thanks, welcome to the Forum, it's such a great forum, everyday here is a learning experience for me!
Fox shot I took was with 600mm prime lens, so I didn't get any opportunity to frame bit more. When I first started to shoot, fox was moving parallel to me and it was fine within that frame, then it turned around and started moving towards me and gave that great eye contact, by that time the fox was too close, I wish I get little more form the bottom of the frame. But that's how it is lot of times!
