| Grizzly bear cubs playing near Denali NP’s Igloo Canyon. Photo was taken during the Polychrome Shuttle bus ride. Grizzly bears (in Alaska they’re called Brown bears) usually live as individuals so seeing this pair together and playing was a super treat. The grizzly bear is characterized by a distinctive hump on the shoulders, a slightly dished profile to the face, and long claws on the front paws. Alaska has more than 98 percent of the U.S. population of Grizzly, as known in Alaska as Brown, bears. Biologists estimate there are about 30,000 in Alaska. We saw three during our adventures in Alaska - these two and another solitary bear munching dandelions east of Tok, Alaska. |
