A young brown bear watches the scene anxiously (00000148)
Description: Brown Bear/Ursus arctos horribilis A fearful little brown bear is perched on a tree, looking down with concern. His mother is at Brooks Falls, fishing for salmon, and has sent him up the tree for safety. The young bears are only safe while high up, as male brown bears pose a deadly threat. Only the little bears can safely climb trees, protecting them from potential dangers. A heartwarming scene from the wilderness of Alaska.
