They say that she’s a whole ‘mother bear when she’s available.

She’s also really good at teaching her cubs to be independent early. Her yearlings can both fish better than most.

Honestly, we watch the Brooks Falls live cam more than regular tv in the summer.

Fat Bear Week is the last hurrah before they all go and hibernate.
