Mature, scarred up "alpha" brown bear (ursus arctos horribilis) surveys his territory. Spring has finally arrived on the meadows of Southwest Alaska. Birds are chirping, female Brown Bears are gathering and looking for love - unfortunately, as are other male Brown Bears. This dominant male brown bear is just making sure that he's still the ruler of his kingdom, and he's poised to take on other males who may think otherwise.

Brown Bear (ursus arctos) mother shelters her cubs. She had twin female cubs. One female cub was curious and bold, the other female cub was curious but a little shy as you can see. Fast forward two years later during the 2012 Salmon Run the twins had been cast off by Mom, and are trying to catch Sockeye on their own. Labeled by the Guides as the "Terrible Twos", these cute little terrors have been known to false charge pretty much any photographer they see. Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
