Wild Bears At Orford Bay Canada - Mother And Cub Playing

The highlight of the Grizzly tour at the Bute inlet/ Orford Bay Mother and the big cub. Both were quite playful in the water. Just wait until you see the cub's catch of the day!
The mother is coming out of the forest. Both together walking along the shore on some logs. What an amazing sight. The cub is trying to snap at the mother. He wants to play. The cub carefully lowers himself down from a log to get into the water. The mother is already in the water further to the back under the log. They both start to play in the water. The mother is not just playful but teaches the cub some life lessons.
They drift away by the water current, but a bit further down the cub got out of the water. The mum is still in the water for a bit longer, until they both walk on the log. There is another bear just in front of us. The light is not brilliant so I stick with the mum and cub and I'm glad I did. Just have a look at that huge salmon the cub got himself. He can hardly walk. What a catch.
Unfortunately mum managed to get hold of it and she's eating it behind the log. It made me laugh when the cub was just about to jump into the water from the log. It looked like he was expecting a big drop, but there was something in the water which actually made it really shallow. A bit later they head off back into the forest.
We used Campbell River Whale Watching and Adventure Tours and they've given us an amazing time.
Feel free to ask if you would like any info.
