Grizzly mom just on shore in estuary we where in a small zodiac sitting on bottom of shallow water when we got there they where a good 100 yards at end of estuary there a photo in my photo stream of her and one of her cubs They slowly made there way towards us the cubs first she swam with a fish between us and them then proceeded to walk the shore line she was very calm our guide kept a good eye on her We couldn't move zodiac was sitting on bottom guide would have to get out and push us this would have made the situation worse with all the movement we all just sat very still She then disappeared into brush and nursed her cubs

Grizzley and her 2 cubs spent a magical 2 hour with them she was not pursued in anyway she came to us on a 4 man zodiac and our guide her cubs swam across first she ate a dozen salmon then took her last one across between us an cubs she then did something unexpected an walked up to us on shore line there was only 8 inches of water in river bed There was a bit of an adrenaline rush there for a bit she was very calm no sign of aggression then took her cubs in to nurse on the edge of woods
A special thanks to spirit bear lodge and the Kitasoo / Xai/Xais First Nations people or letting us experience this magical wild place
