Most of Alaska is having a streak of uncharacteristically balmy weather, not well suited to bears’ thick fur coats. As a result, cubs and juvenile bears alike have been taking advantage of the cool water as the site for their wrestling and play fights. These two young Brown Bears went at it for nearly an hour, with breaks to lay flat in the water and cool off before once again charging each other. A great week for our !


Shot with a Nikon D500 & Nikon 300mm f/4 lens. An awesome combo!
