Photograph by @paulnicklen // A mother brown bear drops a pink salmon off for her cubs next to a river in Alaska and then surveys her surroundings to ensure the safety of her cubs while they eat. I have so much #respect for these denizens of the coastal rainforest as they consume maximum calories before sleeping through the winter months. #followme on @paulnicklen to see a massive male brown bear that I photographed in Alaska yesterday. #nature #naturelovers #bears #mother #family #protect #beauty #love #instagood #instagramhub #bw
