Young brown bears safely perched on a tree in the Alaskan wilderness (00000073)
(2)
Description: Brown bears, scientifically known as Ursus arctos horribilis, are majestic creatures that inhabit the wilderness of Alaska. In this fascinating image, three little brown bears can be seen sitting safely on a tree while their mother fishes for salmon at Brooks River. The cubs are curious and playful, but also cautious, as male brown bears pose a deadly threat. Only on the tree are they safe from potential attacks, patiently waiting for their mother to allow them to come down.
Location: Alaska/Katmai, Brooks River, USA
