Disneynature's Bears: Bear Facts

Lawn mowers. This female brown bear is the oldest mother bear in the meadow. When it comes to eating, she doesn’t mess around- she has shed her winter coat, so you can see her round belly in its full glory. Her cubs of the year are larger than the other cubs in the area of similar age- a testament to her excellent mothering. #mothernature #motherhood #alaskawildlife #wildlifeplanet #wildlifeaddicts #brownbears #animalcrossing #summer #wildlife @kodiakairservice | Kodiak Island Expeditions

Making her bed. A young brown bear digs a day bed near the river. Bears will often dig a nest in sand, soil or vegetation for napping. The depression- or nest can be deep enough that they will almost disappear when they lay down; something to remember when hiking in bear habitat. #bears #brownbear #animals #naptime #sleepy #alaskawildlife #animalplanet #ourplanetdaily #wildlifeonearth #wildlifefacts #wildlifeplanet @kodiakairservice | Kodiak Island Expeditions

An old familiar face. I’ve watched this older male brown bear for several years. He’s probably in his 20’s now, but seems to be in good health. I love how the old ones move slowly and deliberately, hardly acknowledging the younger bears or humans. #old #bears #brownbears #grizzlybear #alaskawildlife #naturephotography #katmai #wild #wildlife #wildlife_shots #wildlifeonearth #animals @kodiakairservice | Kodiak Island Expeditions
