Bobacuda Posted June 17, 2016 Report Posted June 17, 2016 Beautiful animal. What type of bear is it? Quote
casper50 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) brown bear. A grizzly bear that lives near salmon streams and because of the abundance of food gets much larger than a normal interior grizzly bear. That one was a sow with 3 cubs. We also saw another sow with 3 cubs and 1 boar. Edited June 17, 2016 by casper50 Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted June 17, 2016 Report Posted June 17, 2016 Cool video, thanks for posting. Out on an areal patrol/tour about three weeks ago near Grand Lake (on the border in southern Aroostook Co.) and saw a black bear sow with 5 cubs. (!) Still "early spring" around here at that time, it's still cold at night, so the bears will be out at the edge of the forests sunning themselves in the morning, makes for good bear spotting from the air. Pretty neat, the cubs look like fuzzy bowling balls following mama around. 5 cubs was significant enough to report to ME Inland Fisheries & Wildlife, they were pretty excited about it. 2 is common, 3 are not so exciting but noteworthy, and 5 was virtually unheard of. They've been trying to find them again ever since. Quote
