We recently encountered the Bruin triplets. As a precaution, we photographed them through our windshield – the photo quality suffered because the window was dirty and there’s also a lot of visible glare. The bears are coming into a lot of contact with humans however, and we think it’s best not to open windows or to stop and get out. The more minimal we can be, the better, because in the end, it’s the bears that pay the price for human thoughtlessness.
The bears? Well, they’re just being bears.
One of the bears was particularly explorative while the other two stayed close to mummy. They all appeared to be very healthy and well fed.
These bears were born during the winter and will stay with their mum for about the next 12-14 months until they become juveniles, at which time they will start their independent lives. Their mum will go on to find another mate and to give birth again.
But as with all young ones, right now they are completely adorable. 🙂

You’re welcome. 🙂 They are really something to observe. One of them kept mom hopping with his/her desire to explore. 🙂

Yes – it really was, especially watching the one who kept wanting to wander. S/he kept mom pretty busy. 🙂

Completely adorable. Your reminder, “the more minimal we can be the better,” with wildlife interactions will come in handy for my own outdoor summer explorations.

That is precious. I hadn’t heard of them–and how rare! Now I’m going to have to track them (on Google, of course).

They are so cute. 🙂 I was surprised to learn that bear cub triplets aren’t that rare. Some mommas have four or five!

Adorable from a distance. Always nice to see a bear and be in a safe place.

Yes – very true. We need to keep our distance from them as much for their good as for ours. 🙂
