2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Black Bear, Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada, Canada
Did you see that

Species: Black Bear | Location: Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada, Canada

While taking an evening drive from Waterton Lakes campground to Cameron Lake, we spotted a mother black bear and her three yearling cubs. At one point they all stopped by our truck, standing to see what was ahead. I was able to get a picture of these two before the three cubs ran off and climbed up three different trees, while mom was charging at a male black bear. Turns out the mom false charged the male to get it to chase her, drawing it away from her cubs. The male chased the mom around our truck and the two vehicles ahead of us before heading into the forest, which I was able to get on video!
