A sow with three cubs fishes at the Riffles. When not watching out for threats (big male bears), they almost constantly stare into the water at their feet, seemingly mesmerized by the constant parade of salmon swimming by. Cubs seldom catch fish on their own, most often simply plunging into the water at the grey shadows unproductively. But when mom catches a fish, one of the cubs is often quick to make off with it (as the little fellow on the left is doing).
The bears spent considerable time standing on their hind legs, not only watching for danger, but often simply to get a better view of their surroundings.
