This Black Bear and her one year old cub came out to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather and beautiful Spring sunshine in Yellowstone on Saturday.
The first two photos are of the cub. I included the third photograph so that you can see the scale of the cub and his/her mom.
It also turned into my first Yellowstone Bear Jam of 2024. Frustrating to see so many tourists rushing out into the woods to try and get photos with their mobile phones. Also, multiple parents letting their young children too close to a black bear mom with her cub.
