What’s more fun … the look back by the cub on top of Mom, to make sure the sibling knows what he’s done? Or the bedraggled look of Mom, shouldering one more burden of parenthood? Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 5/10/15.
Congrats the winner of the Share the Experience photo contest! Gregory Cameron Teller took home the contest’s grand prize for his touching photo of a baby polar bear and its mama at Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska – an honor that includes having his photo appear on the 2016 America the Beautiful public lands pass. This was Teller’s first time visiting the wildlife refuge, and of the experience, he says, “We stayed a couple of days in a village in the refuge where bear’s frequented this part of the landscape. Moments with mothers and their cubs were just perfect; especially this shot as the cub reached up to his mother.” Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 4/30/15.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park contains some of the largest tracts of wilderness in the East and is a critical sanctuary for a wide variety of animals. Protected in the park are some 65 species of mammals, over 200 varieties of birds, 67 native fish species, and more than 80 types of reptiles and amphibians. The symbol of the Smokies, the American Black Bear, is perhaps the most famous resident of the park. Great Smoky Mountains National Park provides the largest protected bear habitat in the East. Though populations are variable, biologists estimate approximately 1,500 bears live in the park, a density of approximately two bears per square mile. Photo: Charlie Choc.

Photographer Rich Keen captured a tender moment between a bison & calf at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. Located just northeast of Denver, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR is a 15,000-acre expanse of prairie, wetland and woodland habitat. The land has a unique story – it transitioned from farmland, to war-time manufacturing site, to wildlife sanctuary.
This photo, taken 9/16/14, is the first one of Zion National Park’s new California Condor chick. The condor is mostly showing mature plumage, and did a lot of wing flapping when Mom, #409, arrived with a food delivery. It should be developed enough to fly within about 2 months.
