6 cubs in tree

6 cubs in 1 tree!

It wasn’t long ago that the SC cubs and the TN cubs stayed away from each other.  Each group of 3 cubs would perch in a separate tree.  So imagine Curator Coy’s surprise when he saw all 6 of the cubs stacked up in 1 tree!  He was fortunate to get these pictures.

He zoomed in on various cubs as they rested in the tree, and here are the results of the zoom lens.

It is good to see our cubs interacting.  Although wild bears are mostly solitary animals, cubs usually have siblings, so they are more apt to interact with other cubs.  When they are released, the chances are that they will go their separate ways.
