Grizzly known as "Snow" in Yellowstone with her two cubs while feeding on an elk calf. This was a difficult photo with the sun rising right behind them. It was incredibly bright, but I wanted to share the image for the story. The experience was incredible, and really sad at the same time. Meat only makes up about 10-20% of a grizzly bear's diet, as they mainly eat roots, flowers, bulbs, and berries. In Yellowstone, they also eat moths and pine nuts, and will scavenge carcases. However, on this morning, the sow took down an elk calf that was no more than a few days old. The mama elk refused to leave and stood about twenty yards away as these bears consumed her baby. In this image, what remained of the calf is directly below the sow. In the color image, you can see the blood around the front cub's face. Not sure which image I like more, but I am constantly reminded of how hard nature is...bears need to survive, and they are my favorite animal, but I love all wildlife so much, and it was hard to photograph this one.
