Bears Know Bears Best Muddy and confused, three cubs come uncomfortably close in their search for mom. She is off chasing another bear away from her precious cubs. In the process she has separated herself from them by at least a mile. They will eventually find their way to the tree line where they will wait for her, likely hidden in a tree. She will trace their steps with her ultra-sensitive nose until she eventually finds them. It seems a bit excessive for a lone bear that did not appear to be a threat, but then, bears know bears best. #brownbears #brownbearsofalaska #silversalmoncreeklodge (at Lake Clark National Park & Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1tuenIgrCi/?igshid=1eb8osbsvzdp6

The Shakedown. So what do you do when you're soaking wet but forgot to bring your beach towel along? You shakedown! It's no different than any dog, or most animals for that matter. The shake always seems to start from the head and work its way down. Whether birds or bears, it's always fun to watch. #brownbears #brownbearsofalaska #brownbearsofinstagram (at Lake Clark National Park & Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1jAJbUAghg/?igshid=gb8pmjoel2lz
