Description
This is an image of two COY (cub of year) bear cubs taken at the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary in Orr, Minnesota. Black bears at Shutes are wild and free to come and go. These are two of four cubs that are being raised by one sow or female. She is going to have a tough row to hoe raising four cubs. Chances are not good all four will survive to adulthood. These cubs are in a tree because a boar or male was around and the mother gave a verbal cue for them to vamoose. Boars will kill cubs. It is always so impressive to watch how brave the mothers are when males are around. Many times I have seen a much smaller mother stand her ground and force the male to retreat. There is an awful lot of huffing and puffing but seldom does anything come of it.
