Brown bear cubs of the year watch mom fish then get all excited as she approaches with the catch. One gets a little aggressive trying to get a bite and gets a bite from mom.

Nice looking images Dan, #1 and #3 are sweet. You had a nice lower angle on these, cubs didn't look too small until momma entered the picture for a scolding!

Thanks, Karl. Yes I was down low. They were a little close than I'd have preferred. Had to shoot in portrait mode to capture the one standing. It does help when mom is in the scene to give a better sense of scale.

Last pic it is like mom is saying "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out too, so behave!"

Love 1 and 3, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed the images.
These are excellent, Dan! I love that last shot -- it's funny how the cub in the background is looking pretty humble!
Well, at least bears still have a basic concept of discipline!

I wonder if paw size in bears works the same way as paw size in dogs!
Nice set, Dan!

Thanks, Douglas. Even as adults some of them have inordinately large feet.
