Now that's a big grizzly - this is when I really appreciate my long lens.  

Grizzly strolling thru Hayden Valley.

This black bear is keeping tabs on her twins.  Near Phantom Lake.

Black bear and two cubs.  Mom turns her back and the twins scamper up the tree.  Above Lamar Canyon.

I'm not sure why this black bear was growling. Maybe he got up on the wrong side of his hibernation bed.

Coming thru!  

Safe behind Mom - grizzly and cub

Check out those claws!  Grizzly near South Twin Lake

How crazy is this?  Junction Butte yearling approaches grizzly with 2-year-old.

Not a good idea!  Grizzly mom chases yearling wolf.

The chase continued! The wolf escaped with just an injured ego.

Sub-adult grizzly known as "Snow" due to her light color.
