A photographer’s new video footage of a bear with cubs could be a sign that grizzlies are taking up permanent residence on the island.⁠ ⁠ The professional photographer, Catherine Babault, first spotted the bears in July and posted a video of the sow grizzly and her two older cubs to YouTube on Aug. 10. The footage shows the trio retreating from a herd of Roosevelt elk at an undisclosed location between Port Hardy and Campbell River on the north end of the island. The footage documents the first verified sighting of grizzly cubs on the island.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #grizzly #grizzlybear #bear #bears #bearcub #grizzlycub #wildlife #VancouverIsland #britishcolumbia #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Tim Raines / nationalparkservice⁠ Story by: alicejoneswebb
