Bear Family – Grizzy bear sow finishes nursing cubs at Lake ClarBear family cozying up after nursing at Lake Clark. Seen here are a sow and her two grizzly bear cubs cuddling together. Having just nursed, this mother enjoys a snuggle with her babies. Resting on the sandy beaches near Silver Salmon Creek, just west of Homer, Alaska, the tall grass and evergreens are nursing grounds for these cubs. Bear families stay together for 2-3 years before the young brown bears go off to create families of their own. Bears have developed a remarkable language to express emotions within their complex social structure. Just like human children, these cubs will learn how to speak from their bear parents.

Grizzly Bear Attacks Bald Eagle in AlaskaA large Grizzly Bear attacks a Bald Eagle in Alaska. Grizzly Bears do not regularly hunt bald eagles. This bear may have simply been playing; amusing itself idly rather than actually attempting to hunt.
This is one of the only photos ever of a grizzly bear attacking a bald eagle. This unique image was captured in Alaska, a habitat where both species are found in abundance.
This grizzly bear chasing the bald eagle wears a goofy smile on his face, lending the scene a playful appearance. The bald eagle is much too fast and alert to be captured by a grizzly bear.
Bald eagles are surprisingly large and fierce birds. Eagles are actually observed attacking bears more often than grizzly bears attacking eagles.

Grizzly Bear Cub stands above water with SalmonThis young spring cub grizzly bear hovers above the salmon above the cold waters of Chilkoot River in Southeast Alaska.
The baby bear is eating a chunk of salmon fished from the Chilkoot. The baby bear eating probably received his food from his mother, as spring cubs spend their first summer in the wild learning the basic of survival, while their mothers provide food and shelter.
Baby bears eat tons of food, especially compared to their weight. Spring cubs weigh one pound when they are born, but will have bulked up to 300-500 pounds in only a few years.
