Featured in Bears of the World – August 22, 2009
I captured this two year old Grizzly Bear cub, along with it’s mother and twin while on a bus tour in Denali National Park and Reserve, Alaska. We were able to be still and watch them for several minutes while they ignored us and continued doing their bear things, like eating, playing, etc. Photographed on June 20, 2009 in the early evening light.

Oh he is beautiful, his coat is almost white, fabulous work Vickie, be careful around them..gina
Vickie Emms replied
thank you Gina, his coat is very dull, apparently because they don’t get to eat the salmon and other fish that most grizzlies do, and are half the size. It’s true from what I saw of other grizzlies in Yukon.
Vickie Emms replied
oh, and we were on a tour bus, there was no getting out of the vehicle,,,,,,,,,even the others I shot, I stayed in the truck :-))
Stan Wojtaszek
Now that’s cute, Vickie, as long as he stays away !
Vickie Emms replied
the animals in Denali pay no attention to the buses, and cars are not allowed in past a certain point to maintain the nature of the park. The animals think the buses are just another thing that comes along without harming them
Veronica Schultz
