#re bear? Enjoy bear. Follow @boredin.earth for more bear. . I've been watching this bear family a few times a week for about a month and it's been cool to see the two cubs becoming a little more independent. . This was the first time I'd seen the cubs without their mom. They're too young to be fully on their own, so I am sure she was close by and keeping an eye on both me and the cubs. . I'd also never seen them fish before and in fact, just a couple days before this pictures the two cubs were watching their mom fish from the banks. The salmon are at the tail end of their spawning and in pretty rough shape so I guess it's a good time for these novice fishercubs to start practicing. . I saw them chase after some fish and splash around unsuccessfully from pretty far upstream. I lost sight of them for a few minutes as I hiked away from the river and back down to try to get into a good position for photos. When I spotted them again, both cubs were sitting on the river bank. After a moment, one of the cubs walked to the edge of the river and picked up this fish so I'm not sure whether they really caught it or if it just sorta washed ashore. . Regardless, way to go little, bear. . . . #bear #bears #bearcub #bearcubs #blackbear #blackbears #americanblackbear #wildlife (at Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTqG1tOP5_T/?utm_medium=tumblr
