Mother Bear with 4 cubs Katmai National Park

These photos were taken of a brown bear sow that the rangers have named milk shake and her 4 cubs. The photos were taken at Katmai National Park in late July, 2010. According to the rangers, this is the second time this sow has had 4 cubs. We were very lucky in that she spent a lot of time on the beach within yards of the Brooks Camp durring our stay, this allowed Sherry and I to take over 2,000 photos of this family. We've moved some of our favorites to thei folder.

Mom taking the kids for a walk. This female Brown Bear has had 4 cubs twice acording to the rangers. This is quite an accomplishment. She is estimated to be 15 to 17 years old and is reasonably large for a female. She was fishing in the lake near the mouth of the Brooks River when we were there. This was most likely to avoid the large males that were at the falls. She is capable of sending smaller males packing.
