Bear and cubs playfully embrace on banks of an icy river

  • The bond between the mother bear and her cubs is evident they walk together
  • After all the affection it’s dinner time as the mother gives cubs fishing lesson
  • They all then tuck into a meal of freshly caught salmon by the river bank
