Here we see a yearling grizzly bear cub leading his mum around the Khutzeymateen estuary. He certainly was much more self assured in his second season down on the estuary compared to the previous year (see ‘Who’s Coming Mum?‘) when, as a new cub of the year, he was pretty unsure of the boats upon his first encounter with them. But, with confidence from mum, he soon grew accustomed to them and learnt that in that small patch of the BC coast at least, the people in the small boats watching him meant no harm.
