Like a Puppy

A mother grizzly and little cub on the edge of a river. They were just fishing and the little one is shaking off the water.


Like a Puppy


Katmai National Park, Alaska, United States - 22 Jul 2025      See on Google Maps

While watching the bears fish in Katmai National Park a mother brought her cub down to the river edge and went after a few fish. The little one went into the water but did catch anything. After a bit they moved back up on the banks of the river and began to move away. I kept watching them and was rewarded when the little bear shook the water off.

As typical i was all the way out at 500mm using my 100-500. The bears were not far away but I liked filling the screen with the cute bear faces. Always watching to keep the shutter speed over 1/500 of a sec.
