Paw Up
Species: Grizzly Bear | Location: Katmai, United States Of America
This photo was taken on the NatHab "Alaska Grizzly Encounter: Kodiak to Katmai" trip this past July. Mama Bear was relaxing with her cub, but simultaneously keeping a protective watch over the area. The cub seemed to want to get his mother's attention, and politely (if I dare to attribute human behaviors!) raised his paw to try to get her to pay attention to him. The sweetness of the interaction contrasts with the danger of those sharp bears claws, and overall a gentle mood prevailed.
