I’ve seen my fair share of grizzly bears, but none compare to those on Kodiak. Man, are they big! We spent some time with them in 2005, mostly family groups with various cub age groups. This particular family group was my favorite and not just because the cubs were spring cubs. The mom was quite a character in everything she did. She took very good care of her cubs and was an excellent fisherwomen. Where the other bears took attempt after attempt to catch a salmon, mom would saunter over, grab a salmon and saunter back to the family. Photo captured by D2X, 200-400VR on Lexar digital film.
