Momma and her new cubs

Once again the National Zoo in Washington, DC has new Andean bear cubs. The Zoo photo club was offered a sneak preview on Friday, a day before the general public got access. It was cool and a little bit of rain was falling. That a did not stop the cubs from having a good time.

For two hours the cubs ran around, climbed trees and just had fun. Momma bear kept a close eye on them but gave them free rein to do pretty much whatever they wanted.

One exception was when one cub attempted to go very high in a tree. Momma gave him a bite in the rear and pulled him back down.
