The two grizzly cubs were so cute and inquisitive about us, watching us all the time. We were not moving but we were constantly taking their picture with long lenses.
Curious Cubs
Katmai National Park, Alaska, United States - 25 Jul 2025 See on Google Maps
These two were with their mother practicing fishing at the river's edge in Katmai National Park. They stayed on the opposite side of the river and then left, we then moved along the river looking for other bears We look back and saw the family had returned to the river - we quickly, as quickly as you can walk upstream, to get in position to shoot the little cubs. Mom wandered a little way off and the two cubs were very curious about the 3 photographes across the river.
It was a very cloudy day so ISO is up and at 500mm the speed is also high. Even though there was not a lot of action I still took a couple of hundred pictures of these two.
