Grizzly Bear from the Dock

This picture was taken from the dock that we park at when conducting grizzly bear tours in Glendale Cove, Knight Inlet.  We explore the cove by small boat looking for bears, but sometimes we get lucky and they come to us.

Grizzly Bear “Andy”

This photo was taken from the deck at Rick’s cabin on the river.  This is a sub-adult male that Rick has named Andy.  He has watched him grow from a cub.  It is always nice to see him return to the river to feed year after year.

Grizzly Mother Sharing her Catch

Guests are often a little confused when they see a mother grizzly catch a salmon and not share with her young cubs.  She does this for two reasons.  Although the mother is nursing these cubs it is in everyone’s best interest for them to learn to catch their own fish and feed independently.  Secondly because the mother is nursing these cubs she needs to consume a lot of calories to maintain this and must be a little selfish at times.
