Katmai National Park, Alaska
                                                                      
Young brown bears can't wait to explore the world around them. Curiosity is necessary for their survival as it helps them find food sources and avoid trouble. While under the watchful eye of its mother, this spring cub wanders the shoreline where the beach gives way to grasses and vegetation. A bountiful summer awaits this youngster as the first salmon begin filling the rivers.
