Brown Bear with cubs - Anan Creek, Tongass National Forest, Alaska

  • Anan Creek, in the Tongass National Forest, is best-known for its concentration of black bears during the pink salmon run. But brown bears are also known to frequent the area. While we were in Wrangell, Alaska, before continuing on by boat to Anan Creek, we heard about a brown bear with multiple cubs that had been in the area and we saw some photos and video. It is not uncommon for brown and black bears to have multiple cubs. Two is not unusual and even three occur on occasion. But four cubs is truly remarkable. This particular brown bear had four new cubs, also known as “cubs of the year” or COY. We were very fortunate to see and film them our first two days at Anan. All four cubs were quite small and it is unlikely more than one will survive. The adult female was very cautious and protective of her young. After our first two days, another female brown bear, this one with two considerably larger COY, appeared on the scene. We believe her presence caused the female with four COY to leave the area.
    In this sequence, the female with four cubs has come up Anan Creek and displaced a juvenile female brown bear, probably in its third summer and the first it has been on its own. The juvenile cautiously takes up a position higher on the steep sides of Anan Creek. The mother keeps track of the juvenile and, after she has had some success catching pink salmon for herself and her four cubs, she returns to the rainforest. The juvenile female returns to the creek and has somewhat mixed results in catching salmon. She sniffs at the other female’s scent and I can’t help but wonder if they might be related.
    The juvenile here is also a likely sibling of another juvenile female we observed in the Anan area. One of them, called “Phar Lap”, had recently approached groups of people on the trail on three occasions and received a dose of pepper spray each time. There were no other such occurrences after that. But even walking alone on the approximately 1¼ mile trail from the cabin to the falls, making two round-trips every day during a week-long visit, we rarely even met a bear and certainly had no negative encounters.

    Beautifully filmed, Bravo! Interesting how she busied the cubs with a big fish on a sheltered place before going on fishing. She is thin an d very hungry! Nursing four cubs is a lot, and difficult watching them all. Not much possibility to eat for herself!

    Anan is such an Awesome place. It was much better when you could go to the upper falls. It's fun when you are watching several black bears, then they all leave at once. That's when you know at least one brown bear is coming.

      We visited AnAn three different years. Each time we were on our own and stayed a week at the Forest Service cabin which is a very nice hike from the main viewing area. The cabin is very hard to get however.

    The last bear was a second bear, obviously very hungry and weak. Poor thing, it had a hard time hanging on to two catches. I don't like to see animals suffering like that.

      @Black Gold how the fuck are humans different from nature? i agree that we might have the intelligence and duty to protect what we can, but it's not like we came from a different fuckin planet. we factor into the food chain just as much as any other animal. we are an animal still. you only think we are a "virus" because you think we're too special for this planet. we're not
