A grizzly bear sow leads her 4 cubs out of the bush in Katmai National Park, Alaska, USA.

Walking around in katmai NP during the salmon run is like walking in the Zoo, just without the fences. Bears everywhere! But to spot a mother with 4 cubs is a rare thing even for Katmai standards. When this mother then comes across you while you are standing on one of the two safe viewing platforms and walks only a few feet from you then this is photographic heaven.
