A loving brown bear carries one of her playful cubs on her back as they make their way through a river, with the cub refusing to get its paws wet. The mother bear and her two adorable cubs, all around three years old, were exploring the river while on the lookout for food. As the bear mom crossed the water, her little cub decided it wasn’t a fan of swimming and opted for a ride on its mom’s back instead.
Witness the touching scene as a mother brown bear gently guides her two tired and frightened cubs across a river to safety.
A short while ago, all three individuals were captured on camera sipping water from a stream at Lark Clark National Park in Alaska.
Onlookers observing the trio of bears assumed that they were simply heading towards the shallow creek to quench their thirst.
The mother turned around to see her two young companions hesitating to step into the shallow water.
The trio of family members trekked across the creek, on a never-ending quest for food in the picturesque Lark Clark National Park in the wilds of Alaska. Despite the cub being cautious and checking for danger, he clung tightly to his mother’s fur until they safely made it to the other side of the river.
As the video player played an ad, photographer Renee Doyle observed the mother bear leading her cubs out of their dens at the Lark Clark National Park in Alaska, USA. Doyle, a 52-year-old from Surfers Paradise in Queensland, Australia, captured the bears as they roamed the park in search of food.
According to Doyle, the mothers and their cubs traverse the National Park area in search of sustenance, grazing on grasses, munching on berries, and venturing to the mud flats during low tides to hunt for clams. The mother bear’s repeated standing up was a signal that something was amiss, adding a touch of concern to the otherwise serene scene.
As reported by witness Renee Doyle from Australia, one of the bear cubs was very hesitant to go into the shallow creek.
After reaching the other side safely, the two bear cubs quickly shook off their fur and bounded off across the grass. The mother bear came to a halt at a small creek and bent down to take a drink of water, with her cubs never far from her side. Surprisingly, instead of continuing through the field, she stepped into the creek, which was not very deep – coming up to about her back. The cubs, following her lead, had to jump in and join her. One of the cubs, hesitant to enter the water, quickly swam to his mother’s side and climbed onto her back as she continued swimming through the creek.
As the mother bear emerged from the water, her young cub climbed off her back and shook off the water. Witnessing the bears in their natural habitat is an incredible and awe-inspiring experience. The way the mother bear lovingly cares for and nurtures her cubs is truly inspiring. The playful and mischievous nature of the cubs, like any other young animals, always brings a smile to your face. Capturing these moments through photography is immensely satisfying and rewarding, leaving you wanting more.
