Teton Bears
This is the famous Teton Mama bear 399. She gave birth to 3 cubs last year and only two survived. I had to take this shot while hand holding a very long heavy lens. They were moving so much and although it looks like a calm scene, it was complete chaos around them. The rangers were screaming at people who got too close. And the road was in front of the bears. At one point the babies ran so close to one of the rangers, I worried that Mama would go after her. Bears are quite unpredictable but fortunately, Mama seemed to know the drill and was quite pleasant this time. I really love animals so although this is not as tack sharp as I normally like my pictures (it was impossible to hold steady that heavy lens ), the moment in time for me was priceless.
