Description: The brown bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) is an imposing and fascinating species of carnivore that calls the Alaskan wilderness home. In this scene, we witness a little brown bear calmly exploring the surroundings from the safety of a tree while its mother forages for food at Brooks River. The mother has sent the young bears up the tree as a precaution, as male brown bears pose a potential threat. Unable to climb, these bears are safe up in the tree. A unique moment of tranquility and security in the wild.
Location: Alaska/Katmai, Brooks River, USA
