The Cowering Cub
A reminder of why tourist ethics are so important when we visit the homes of these animals. Here we have Felicia (Bear#896) with one of her yearlings cowering behind her as the tourist crowd surged forward towards her. Bears are rare sights for many, yet it serves a reminder that while these are apex predators, we intimidate them far more than they do us. The cub kept taking refuge behind mom despite being a yearling, cowering in fear of the overwhelming mass of people.
