Black Bear

We had hardly come down the stairs before we observed a bear moving in between the green leaves. We got onto the special track that took us up, so we got a better view, and we saw bears, many, and also various ages, from the ones born this year to the 'teenager' and to the mothers taking care of their small ones. There were a lot of salmon in the shallow river and the bears just enjoyed all the food. The small ones saw the food, but it was really difficult to catch it, how hard they tried. Took a lot of pictures and small videos, and here are a small collection of some of the bears we saw. Enjoy.

Hiding in the trees
This one caught at least two salmons while we were watching
    This was left    
Looking for more
Then we met this mother with child
I can see food - but how can I catch it?
It's so easy when mother does it - so why can't I ?
         
After a while there came another one, so this mother had two small ones to feed and teach
At the start of the river Even after we came out of the woods we saw a new one
