Fun Wildlife Clips - Hike Jasper
Being lucky enough to see young Bear cubs play will certainly improve your appreciation for these interesting mammals.
Just to give you a taste, below are some short clips of Black Bear cubs horsing around. These Bear cubs are enjoying their territory very shortly after coming out of their winter den and birth site. Sorry about the faint phase-in that is centered - you have to do what you have to do, however.

The clip just below is similar, however one black bear cub out of eye-shot is about to charge his/her sibling currently occupied in the play fight. When the wrestling bear cub realizes he/she is about to be charged, a short preparation takes place; one of my favorite few seconds that always makes me smile.

These two clips also give you an idea of just how small and vulnerable new Bear cubs are, which easily supports why mother Bears often have to initiate aggressiveness. Sadly, one of these cubs did not make it to their first birthday.
