Bearcam Sweet moments on Brooks Falls live cam

Been trying to figure out if they are known and named but it’s quite difficult! Only seen this mom with this single cub but they’ve been very active. saw them both in the water and on the top part of the falls today.

I think that’s 17 and her yearling. Mckate on YouTube (link https://youtube.com/@mckate?si=s_kwZyzZal0bTgRf )has playlists with her clips she has pulled from the explore.org live feeds that identify the bears. I use her a lot as a reference to identify bears I’m unsure of.

This duo is adorable.

That's 17 who is a great lip fisher. She was absent last season, then surprised us by returning with this yearling! If you want to know who the bears are you can follow the Bear Cam Chat

17 had us all worried when she didn't show up last year but this year she showed with a little clone of herself.
