Lost at Sea This photo was captured after a very intense scene of mating. I’ve now seen both brown bears and polar bears mate and it is a lot to take in. Nature in its rawest form is sometimes difficult to witness. This female bear ran off shortly after through the rising tide and glanced back at the male bear briefly. I find this image to be captivating given the context, not to mention the texture of her fur! It feels much more rugged than my other bear posts so far. #bear #bearsofinstagram #rugged #wetandwild #wildlifephotography #wildlife #natgeowildlife #bealpha #purenature #getoutandexplore #alaska #matingseason #wildlifephoto #brownbear #bearlife #sonyalpha
