Brown Bear Cubs Cross Water on Mom’s Back


Occurred on June 23, 2025 / Katmai National Park, Alaska, USA

Info from Licensor: "As the sow and three cubs waited on a high sand bar a little too long, the high tide flooded them with water and the only way back to the beach was to get on moms back and go. Cubs fall off and the mother bear was a bit sensitive with cubs on her back so one cub did have to swim across and made it just fine!"
