  1. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ TIL: 🐻🐾 At #Katmai National Park, two mother #bears killed #cubs that weren’t their own, the first documented female infanticide at #BrooksRiver.

    Naturalists work through theories, centered on the odd idea that mingling cubs pick up each other’s scent and compete for #resources. Experts admit they can’t fully explain why.

  6. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ TIL: πŸ»πŸ»β€β„οΈ On August 3, cameras caught a rare silver-furred brown bear cub yawning in the grass at #Katmai National Park in #Alaska.

    Park ranger Sarah Bruce and biologist Michael Saxon explain the coloring comes from natural genetic variation, not a #polarbear hybrid. The six-month-old cub faces steep odds, since rangers estimate 33-50% of spring #cubs do not survive to their first year.
