Black Bear Cub Sleeping in a Tree in Grand Teton National Park

A black bear cub sleeps high up in a tree in Grand Teton National Park.

So far I’ve seen three different sows with cubs along the Moose-Wilson Road in Grand Teton National Park. Yesterday’s post was the one found farthest to the north along the road, and the post before that featured another sow that had two cubs, however that one was both collared and tagged. This little cub, along with another not captured here, belongs to yet another sow who hangs out in the same area, but isn’t collared. When I arrived, they were all sleeping on the ground, but a few minutes later, the cubs got up and began climbing up a spruce tree. They wound up climbing higher than I expected them to, but was still able to get a few good shots at different angles.

Free Roaming Photography, Photography by Mike Cavaroc, is my portfolio and vision of the natural world. As a nature and wildlife photographer, I am striving to reach the angles of landscapes that haven't been documented before as well as finding the dramatic nature of wildlife in its natural state. As a result, every animal photographed on this website was done so in its wild and natural habitat.

Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I thoroughly explore the wonders of Grand Teton National Park and its surrounding areas, including the Gros Ventre Wilderness, Yellowstone National Park and much more.

I've come to love this region much more than anywhere I've lived, and with your helpful support, I can continue to give back to this community that keeps me enthusiastic each and every day. Read more...
