Hey everyone!
I thought I would show you all what kinds of bears we see frequently around Steep Creek. There are about 17 bears around the Steep Creek area. The area acts like a nursery ground for the black bears because of all the public that come to the Visitor's Center. Male black bears are frightened off by people, so the females bring their cubs under the public's watchful eye for protection. Male bears will kill cubs, but as long as people are around, the cubs will be safe.
This year there are two different females that have two cubs each. They are seen frequently teaching their young how to fish for salmon from the streams. If you would like to see a mother bear and her cubs, just click HERE!
Hope you enjoyed it!
