little 519 has such long legs now!!

its the celebration day for 719 and her cubs on the explore.org chat, so i'm reblogging some of my favorite posts about them!

one of the really nice things about a big salmon run like we're getting this year is that when bears are full, they're happy & chill, so there's way more playing and way less fighting.

* 284 Electra is excluded from the celebration because she and her cubs will be celebrated on Wednesday

to be clear, i am not saying its impossible that 909 and 284 are hanging out together with their cubs. but it certainly would not be my first guess!
