*** About Black Bear Cubs: Black bear cubs are commonly born in the safety of their mother's den during winter hibernation, typically in January or February. By spring, these cubs are ready to venture into the outside world under the watchful eyes of their mother. Weighing less than a pound at birth, they grow quickly, nourished by their mother’s rich milk and, eventually, by a diverse diet ranging from fruit and nuts to fish. The playful behavior highlighted in this image is crucial for their development, helping them learn the skills they will need for survival in the wild, such as climbing, foraging, and avoiding predators. The nurturing environment where these cubs are raised is vital to their growth, providing not only sustenance but also the safety needed to explore and grow.
