We’ve been home at The Holler for a couple of weeks now. The highlight of the trip was spending time with Mamma Griz and her Mini-me!
Thought you might like to see some more photos of them.
Here they are surveying their vast domain.
It’s mini see, mini do, with these two!
I have never seen such perfectly executed mimicry. Mini is learning how to be a bear.
They live in an awful pretty place,
and they are a awfully handsome pair!
Cheers to you from Mama Griz and Mini-me in their mountain lair~

Cool photos. What type of lens do have to get so close to the bears?
I use the Sony HX400 with a 1200mm equivalent zoom.
OK. I use Olympus gear and my “biggest” lens is the equivalent of 600mm so you do have a bit more reach with your 1200mm equivalent. Still, it’s the photographer, not the equipment and you always get great shots.
Ohhhh, that is so nice. Thank you sincerely & cheers~
What beautiful creatures. My favorite pic is the face-forward one of Mamma-Griz. She’s lovely.
She just blew me away. She is such a powerful creature and so gentle and such a good teacher with her cub. I can’t even imagine anyone killing creatures like this for fun.

Lovely, Cindy. Those Grizzlies can be very feisty.
Leslie
So I have heard, but thankfully, everytime I’ve seen them, they’ve been on their best behavior!
Don’t run – that’s for sure.
Leslie
That’s funny I was going to do a post on this male baboon in Africa who chased me and that was definitely the dominant message in my brain. I didn’t run, but I sure backed up fast! 😉 😉
Back up slowly and smile, Cindy. Chuckle.
Leslie
Laughing, yeah! <3
So beautiful and so sweet. I am so disgusted as Florida apparently had a bear hunt but had to cancel it after two days because too many bears were just being massacred. I can’t even begin to print the thoughts I’m having about this. Sorry, I digress. I adore your photos.
I know, I know, just how you are feeling. I just get madder and sadder at the inability of people to learn to protect our wild creatures and places. What did they do kill a hundrd black bears? Why must we continue to be so harmful and so stupid? Do they even know how wonderful black bears are? How tight the family bonds are? We could learn so much from watching wild creatures, but we’d have to stop killing them first.
I am so sorry. I know just how you feel.
😥 😡
<3
They are beautiful.
Thank you on their behalf! They truly are.
Their fur looks so thick and healthy – must be due to the pristine environment that yields plenty. What I keep seeing are those claws! Must be my primal fear! 😉
They are impressive claws aren’t they! Mini-me has a nice set growing as well.
Awesome Cindy 🙂
Awww, so pleased you think so my friend~ <3
They look as thought they’re posing for you! A mama’s love for her cub….beautiful
Yes, Mama just blew me away, so gentle and so patient. She was fine with us there, but this group of people came on the trail with a dog. I warned them not to proceed due to mama and cub, but they loped ahead. I watch mama and cub charge them. Then mama hid behind a bush, (I took a photo) and baby disappeared. They were afraid of the people. They have good reason to be. Much more reason than we have to fear them.
The obviously sensed you were not there to harm them. People just don’t think, or don’t care 🙁
Yes, I think you are right on both counts.
Cute, probably is not the correct word for Grizzly Bears, but I still think they are cute in these pictures:-) Don’t they live in a beautiful place!
They are cute, beautiful, amazing, every adjective I can think of. Cute works well for me. That cub was completely cute! <3
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing! Blessings and peace,
Visa versa 2 U X 2! <3
😁
Such beautiful and perfect captures!
Awww, thank you my friend!
They are cute, Cindy. 🙂
Yay!!! I am so happy you think they are cute Ranu!! <3
Wonderful post. Great shots. You took us there – – – thanks.
Ahhh, it wouldn’t be the same without you Wally. I know how much you love our wild spaces. <3
Wow! These are stunning! STUNNING.
Thank you on behalf of the grizzlies. They still give me goosebumps, they are so magnificent.
Yes! I can understand that for sure. We only have black bears close by but I find them amazing. Peace.
I love black bears too and saw a lot of them this trip too. My son got a bunch of wild life cam photos of a black bear sow, cubs, males a whole group of them in NoCaly, amazing!
So, so cool!
<3
You outdid yourself with these pictures. They are wonderful. Great job~!
I am so glad you like them! Grizzlies need people to like them and want to protect them. <3
Great shots, and what a beautiful, tranquil site. Thanks for sharing
Thank you more for appreciating!
Oh, they should sing the song of the movie: “mini-me: you complete me!” D:
Man, that would make a great sound track! Laughing……
such amazing photos! Heading to Canada later this year, my dream is to some bears in the wild.
Where are you going? We saw a lot of grizzlies in the Knight Inlet in BC and are going back next year to spend more nights and see more!! Love them!
Great photos. Bears are such interesting animals.
I think sometimes people don’t like them because they misunderstand them.
Just the bear necessities. 🙂
The simple bear necessesities of life…. I agree with Baloo! <3

Beautiful bears. I’ve read stories of rare Grizzly-Polar Bear hybridization in the Canadian Arctic. Apparently, some male Grizz will occasionally venture outside their Alaskan range and encounter female Polar Bears.
Really? I have not heard that. I will google it and see what’s up. Fascinating…..
Here’s one from a couple of years ago: http://www.newsminer.com/features/sundays/alaska_science_forum/hybrid-grizzly-polar-bear-a-curiosity/article_92f5a5d6-9e8c-11e2-b0e4-0019bb30f31a.html
I knew marine mammals do this, there are Wolphins, and land mammals like Ligers. There are a lot of mammal hybrids, but most are a result of captivity. But this is remarkable, because it occurred in the wild with two at risk species. Most hybrids can’t reproduce. But apparently these two might be able too.
“In 1936, a male polar bear accidentally got into an enclosure with a female Kodiak (Alaskan brown) bear at the U.S. National Zoo, resulting in three hybrid offspring. One hybrid was named Willy Wonka and grew into an immense specimen. The hybrid offspring were fertile and able to breed successfully with each other, indicating that the two species of bear are closely related. The Kodiak is also considered by many to be a variant or subspecies of the basic Arctic brown bear.”
Totally unknown to me. If grizzlies could mate with polar bears, both species could survive, adapted….
until some gun nut killed them.
Still, it is hopeful.
“A grizzly–polar bear hybrid (also pizzly bear, polizzly, prizzly bear, nanulak, Polar-Grizz[citation needed], or grolar bear[1][2]) is a rare ursid hybrid that has occurred both in captivity and in the wild. In 2006, the occurrence of this hybrid in nature was confirmed by testing the DNA of a strange-looking bear that had been shot near Sachs Harbour, Northwest Territories on Banks Island in the Canadian Arctic.[3]”

Thank you so much for telling me about this.
Beautiful shots of these two lovelies and where they live Cindy. They are so gorgeous! What a lovely place they live in as well. Thanks for sharing. 😀
Thank you more for appreciating the magnificent grizzlies. <3
Beary impressive! ʕ ∗ •́ ڡ •̀ ∗ ʔ
They love you beary much!
And so do I~

This Grizzly encore made my day Cindy! So nice to see them enjoying a serene, peaceful day – as all bears and wildlife should be allowed to do so! I noticed the comments on the black bear massacre in Florida above and that incident is in my thoughts as well. Hope we can put an end to that. 🙁
Welcome home Cindy! ~Lynn
So good always to hear from you Lynn especially as I go to bed. It is always so good to have someone who knows a lot and understands.
Sleep well my friend. <3
What a privilege to see this duo in their environment. Those folks with the dog were rather ignorant, to put it mildly.
Bears so rarely bother humans. When they do, it can be bad luck, ie., both suprising each other on a trail, which is why your are supposed to never walk alone. Sometimes though, people push their luck, get too close to the bear and frighten it, which is what happened with these people and their dog. I watched the whole thing unfold, you could tell it was a warning charge, not intending to harm, and you could tell mama bear was frightened for her cub. In other words, it was completely avoidable. Respecting a wild animal’s space seems to me to be the most important thing.
Absolutely gorgeous photographs. Than you so much for posting them. Beautiful bears and landscape.
Thank you more for appreciated our wonderful wild grizzlies. Can you imagine a world without them?
Reblogged this on Coalition for American Wildbirds.
Gratitude for your advocacy for all the wild creatures Sharon~ <3
oh, that’s sweet! great pictures!
There is a definite sweetness in the familial bonds amongst wild animals.
Thank you, the subjects made the photos. Love them~ <3
Fanstastische Aufnahmen in einer schönen Naturlandschaft
Danke, dass du mein lieber Freund Ernst!
Reblogged this on Smorgasbord – Variety is the spice of life and commented:
Before I get into my own posts this morning I wanted to share this fabulous collection of photographs of a mother and baby bear by Cindy Knoke.. Nature at its best.
So grateful for your support of our remarkable wild grizzlies!
Cindy you lucky thing, what an honour to see the mumma and baby bear together. 🙂
Yes, it was both those things exactly! Lucky and an incredible honor! Thanks for knowing this~
I love those bears! They are so cute! I love how the baby is copying his mama to a T! Adorable! Hugz Lisa and Bear
You can actually see with your own eyes the intensity of the bonding between mother and cub. It is beautiful~
That would be so awesome to see them in person. I love your nature photos so much
Awwww, thanks and hugs to you guys!
A wonderful pair!
They are so worthy of our protection!
Presenting this wonderful and most natural face of bears may give people an opportunity to see the real, gentle, and not so threatening side of these beautiful creatures. Unfortunately, they are considered a nuisance in Florida and open season for hunting them was declared. What a shame!
Yes, I have been seeing bears all my life, since I was a little kid. I remember counting them as a child and keeping records of the numbers. Sadly we can no longer do this as there aren’t enough left to count. I don’t understand the intensity of some people’s fear of them. Thank you for seeing and remarking on the gentle beauty of the mighty grizzly and her cub in her natural world. <3
Mama and mini me are so sweet together. What a gorgeous place for them to live…Glacier National Park is on my vacation list. When we were in Yellowstone last year I hoped to spot a ear but never did. You hit the jackpot! Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos, Cindy.
I highly recommend Glacier in early September as the bears are down low stuffing themselves on grass in preparation for the long winter.
Great shots, I just hope they were taken from a very safe distance 😉
Yes, thank you, they were. It is very irresponsible to get too close to wild grizzlies. I have good telephoto.
These are wonderful photos Cindy. I hope you were behind a long lens from a safe distance.
Yes. Thank you for emphasizing this. Tragedies for all species happen when people do not repect a wild animal’s space.
Wowsers, the claws on those paws!
They are so impressive. She is so impressive!
Such lovely creatures left to go about their bear business undisturbed – amazing photos. Hope you were far away becuase momma bears are so protective and with those claws!! My hiking friend and I once had a baby bear cross our path on the trail and backed off pretty fast because we knew mom would be close behind.
Trails can make me a tad nervous for this reason. I sing so loudly on them that when we ecounter a bear, it is ass first, running away from my voice! Laughing….. smart bear.
Wonderful photos and so charming to see a child copy their Mum! Hope all well at the Holler.
Happy home at The Holler, thanks! And, yes, the closeness between mama bears and cubs is beautiful to behold. I can imagine them curled up together in their dens through the intense Montana winter. Sweet dreams and stay safe to both of them. <3
They are so, so adorable! (Well, from afar and through your lens anyway…I wouldn’t want to come between them…) 🙂 You make me want to write a story about them (if Robert McCloskey hadn’t done it so well already in “Blueberries For Sal”). <3
I read that so long ago. Thank you for reminding me of it. I think you should write your own. I want to read it! <3
Thanks for the encouragement, Cindy! I think bear stories are fun and who doesn’t want more, right? 😉 xo
Looking forward to reading it!
Amazing shots of these gorgeous animals. Look at that thick fur. And those faces…and claws. Thanks for sharing these breathtaking photos, Cindy. You have extraordinary talent and brilliant subject matter.
Your kindness is so appreciated. Magnificent subjects like these two make their own beauty. They were such a privelege to see and photograph.
Your posts are stunning. I love hearing about your travels and seeing all the glorious life that appears in front of your camera. You have a way of honoring everything you photograph. I admire you greatly.
Ahhh, I am more honored to get to know you. <3 <3
Wonderful share, Cindy. How gorgeous they are! 🙂
Aren’t they exquisite, not on a rug or stuffed on a wall, but in their glory in their natural home. There is no better way to see them.
What a delightful post, Cindy. Hugs! :bear:
Hugs back to you my friend! <3
They both look so HUGGABLE — except for those vicious-looking claws, of course! Good thing real Teddy Bears don’t have them!
Yes, it’s best to save your hugs for your teddy bear! Laughing……Cheers to you Debbie. <3
Amazing and exquisite photos that capture such gentleness and connection!
Thank you for seeing the most important aspect of these two! <3
I also sow your extraordinary gift to be able to get close enough to grizzly bears to photograph such important natural mother/child bonds with incredible skill and heart. You rock, Cindy!
Man, Carol, what rocks the most, is you and I finding each other here in blogdom. Do you have any idea how grateful I am for this? <3 <3
These are great! There is a video going round of a great big bear enjoying water coming out of a hose. It’s coming out at high pressure and this bear was so happy having a wash and an itch. I think you can find it on youtube.
I am going to look for it now. I Love these videos of wild bear antics. Check out this clever bear, not only can it open a car door in one second, it also has impeccable
taste. I don’t care much for Chevy Impalas either! 😉
Crikey, cheeky bugger! 🙂
I’m speechless… These photos ought to get published through NG, Cindy!
Oh, you are very kind Amy. It was such a thrill to be with them for such an extended period watching their natural behavior!
I really love the bears. Wonderful images of wildlife.
I love people who love bears! <3
Love the bears and the scenery 🙂
Yay! Another bear lover! Bears need them.
Superb!!!!! 🙂
So appreciated! <3
Such lovely captures of the bears, Cindy! 🙂
Very pleased you enjoyed them Jo & cheers to you~
Unbelievable photos, Cindy. Clear, up close enough to almost read what’s behind the facial expressions of Mama and her baby. Stunning fall color as background. <3 <3 <3
You are very kind and your lovely comments are most appreciated. Cheers to you my friend and thank you!
Wonderful! 🙂
Thanks Bette ma’ deah! <3
Fab Griz & Grizlet!
Grizlet is a good one!
Thank you for your glorious photos of these two and their homeland <3
Melting.
Alison
I know you resonate with these phenomal creatures Alison and I am grateful that you do! They need defenders.
Thank you for the eye opening post on Egypt. Sending it to Jim. The lack of tourists has me very interested.
One on one teaching works best 🙂 Nice pictures of both and the place!
It does, it’s the personal approach! And the cub seem like a most attentive learner! <3
Very sweet!
It takes sweet to see sweet Resa~
Don’t mess with “mama” bear!
Nope! Not me. She is what you call an assertive female~
Great catch how Mini Me copies the movements of Mama Bear… 🙂
Isn’t it a pity that they both give you the feeling you’d like to cuddle them, hug them when you know you’d probably not survive it?… 😉
Just seeing them from a safe distance was a huge thrill for me! They do look cuddly, hence the teddy bear icons, but nope, I wasn’t tempted to request a hug! It would be unbearable. 😉
Fascinating photos.Thank you for visiting my blog.You have a unique blog.Jalal
Thank you Jalal and be well my friend.
One word…incredible!
On behalf of the incredible bears, I thank you!
The bear with baby bear made me smile. Also, silly “bedtime me” thought of Yogi Bear and little “Boo Boo.” 🙂
I just did a post on Boo Bear, the black bear cub, so our great minds are thinking alike Robin! 😉
The photographs are absolutely stunning…. Wonderful post, dear Cindy. Sending love and best wishes , Aquileana 🍁🍃🍂
Thank you Aquileana. I was reading your more recent post yesterday, and as usual, I was very impressed with your scholarly depth and breadth. Be well my friend~
Cheers to having the right lens to get you close. … look at those claws on Mama Griz!
Yes, the right zoom makes all the difference, and yes, look at those claws!!! Incredible!
Lovely pictures. How wonderful the little one gets to grow up in that magnificent beauty. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Yes, they live in grizzly bear paradise! So glad you like them~
Fantastic photos of the bears!!! Scotland could do with a few of them back in our woods!!
Thank you! Yes, it is sad that bears are gone from so much of Europe. They definitely wake you up when you encounter one on a trail! Cheers to you, and I am 1/4 Scotch, so I love Scotland! Note: You can tell I am Scottish, since I just spelled Scot, Scotch!! 😉 😉
Scots or Scotch, with photos like yours Cindy, we are proud you here in Scotland that you have some Scottish blood!! Actually, far more than me, I’m a Cornishman living in Scotland, but my wife is 100% Scottish 🙂
My paternal grandmother was the very proud Scot. She married a Newfoundlander, that’s a mouthfull! Wonderful to make your aquaintance and love looking at your photos of gorgeous Scotland.
Cindy where do you live? I thought grizzlies stayed way to the north – I guess you got these pics on a trip…Montana, northern USA and Canada….but these are clearly grizzlies!
These are not Holler Bears. You are right they were in Glacier National Park, in Montana. The largest grizzly bear in North America was shot at The Holler, but that was in the 1890’s. Sadly there are no more grizzlies in California despite them being our state symbol.
Amazing! I love the photos and the video is crazy! Mama bear and baby are just precious! Love this post Cindy thanks so much for sharing with us!
Your enjoyment is rewarding and makes me happy I posted! Cheers to you Lyn~
Thanks I love your photos!
Well, I love your recipes, so we’re even!
<3 <3
These are fabulous photos.
Awwww, thank you my friend and be well! <3
I can’t decide if I want to come back as a bear or an eagle in my next life?
Boy, that is a tough one. Bears have a greater chance of being hunted than eagles unfortunately. I’d probably choose eagle, but I understand your dilemma!
Your mimic photos are delightful Cindy. What great captures. BTW, how has the rain down in So Cal been treating you? –Curt
Thank you Curt. We have gotten minimal rain, and none in the past ten days. We are still eagerly awaiting the el nino!. I am going to google the latest projections now. Take care my friend~
And may El Nino bless you, but not too much. 🙂
I wish the gods paid attention to these sort of precise instructions! 😉
They Are a handsome pair! Love the pics 😉
So pleased you do and thank you too!
Wow for some amazing bears Cindy, they are looking so good. I’m sure they didn’t see you as an enemy.
Nor did I see them as anything close to an enemy. Thank you for knowing this! <3 <3
Wow, Cindy! How incredible. Do you feel scared with them around or do they keep to themselves? A long lens perhaps? They are so beautiful and the mimicry is particularly striking. I felt like I was watching a wildlife documentary. Fantastic!
I have a long lens. These two were not the least bit scary because we all knew we were there and there was good distance between us. Plus the bears were in a mellow mood. The only time I have felt scared was when I encounter a bear close up on a trail, but in those situations, I have been singing so loudly (to alert bears to our presence) that all I see is a glance and a bear butt as they walk away from my cacaphony! 😉
Wonderful pictures of mom and baby Griz! And the views! Breathtaking.
I am so glad she lives in a national park, so the likelihood of her being killed by some gun nut is less~
I fully agree!
Just as we should see them, not as some trophy strung up and photographed with the proud hunter.
Beautiful shots Cindy 😀 Superb
Amen! I google imaged searched grizzly claw images and the majority of photos were taken by hunters, gloating over the a dead bear’s claws and paws. I only want to see living bears, and living bear paws and claws!
Wonderful photos, Cindy! How can they be so fierce and look so adorable at the same time!
It is what makes them so fascinating I think. This sense of contained power. Grizzlies spend most of their days being grazers!
Really! I guess I need to spend more time watching the Alaskan reality TV shows. 🙂
It is hard to get a balanced view of grizzlies anywhere. The truth is we have hunted them to extinction in much of the lower 48 including California despite the fact they are our state symbol. They spend most of their time grazing and avoiding humans.
Wow, Cindy, fantastic photos. You did an impeccable job of capturing the mimicry. And I really love seeing the grizzly’s claws–so formidable…not easy to capture when there’s tall grass and ground debris.
Thank you my friend. That is the hardest thing about photographing wild life in their natural environments isn’t it? The difficulty of getting a photo unobscured by grass and brush!
Excellent compositions Cindy. Are you familiar with Chris Martin, a Canadian photographer ?
His nature and landscape work just carries you off. This sequence reminds me of his work.
http://christophermartinphotography.com/
Stunning photography! Thank you for showing me. I can’t imagine what it would be like to live full time in Africa or Canada.
It is nirvana for photographers!
Very nice landscape! The bears look very cute notwithstanding their savagery.
Thank you!
Great photos!
Mil grazie!
Bonita escena familiar de la mamá osa con su pequeñín. Y los lagos son preciosos. 🙂
Muchas gracias mi amiga especial, y tiene una buena fin del semana! <3 <3
Magnificant in every way <3
Wonderful of you to say!
Cindy – Oh, yes. Your bears have the best of all worlds. They have food, safety and beauty along with a natural habitat. What more could any being on earth ask for – other than love and health of course. With your temperate climate will the bears go into hibernation? I’m ashamed to admit, I love bears and know next to nothing about them. Your photos are magnificent as always. Sheri
These grizzlies live in Glacier, and they should be heading into hibernation around now. The largest grizzly ever shot in North America was shot at The Holler in the late 1800’s. Sadly there are no more left. Life at The Holler would be so much more interesting with grizzlies. They are after all our state symbol. Be well Sheri & Tom. <3
Shucks. I thought you might be far enough away from everything that they might have made their way back to you.
You have no idea how much I wish they would, except that some moron might shoot them!
So precious!
They are just that!
Baby bears do something to my hormones…
Kick in the nuturing instinct possibly…….
What a fantastic experience to see these amazing animals in such a beautiful location. Fab photos (as always).
So glad you understand how truly remarkable this was. I have seen coastal grizzlies up coast, but this was an inland sow and cub and we were in their presence for a long time. Truly an incredible experience!
What a beautiful journey, dear friend! Have a wonderful week ahead, Cindy! 🙂
Visa versa 2 U X 2!
Pingback: The Respect Award | Life of an El Paso Woman
Wonderful, that vast landscape at their disposal.
It is wonderful to think of them hibernating here in a protected place.
Wonderful photos! In Florida, FWC decided that after the black bear was removed from the endangered species list that people should be allowed to hunt them again (http://anarette.com/2015/10/25/compassion-2/). It was terrible to have to witness this after decades of restoration efforts.
It is so disgusting, there are no words. We seem as a species to be incapable of learning. I am so sorry. It must be so disheartening to see this.
Very disheartening. I thought we were on the right track, but we as a species still have a long way to go.
Yes, and we don’t have much time before too many species will be gone forever.
The wonders of nature & the wild!
They cannot be bested! <3
So true.
These are simply awesome shots (the third one needs to be in a magazine and framed somewhere…it has everything). What you’ve captured is a great mom-child pair…and the fact that they are grizzlies is amazing.
We are going for more grizzly time in The Knight Inlet next year. I have seen a lot of grizzlies in my life, but I have never seen one acting aggressively. This pair was incredible, such tenderness between the two, and the photo with them both looking over this thousand foot drop over their realm was pure magic to see. Again not suprised you noticed Randall, but thank you very much for doing so.
I do hope to photograph some bears, and grizzlies would be a dream…they are beautiful just being themselves, but when put in an incredible environment it is a sight I wish to see very much ~ The Knight Inlet, very good for you!
It will be our second visit but this time we are staying much longer in a floating fly in lodge up the inlet. Then we are driving all over Vancouver Island. We are going at the peak of the salmon runs so are sure to see orcas and bears!
Reblogged this on Random Ramblings; Myriad Musings and commented:
Beautiful photos of grizzly bears…fascinating, captivating critters!
🙂
Awwww, so glad you like them. They have a gentle, grazer aspect to them. Not always the fierce, relentless predator depicted so ubiquitously. Thank you for supporting the grizzlies.
Awesome! Those are right by your house?
The largest grizzly shot in North America was shot at The Holler in the late 1890’s. Despite it being our state symbol, grizzlies are extinct in Caliornia. There guys were in Glacier National Park. Hope all is well with you and your Brenda!
I’ve seen bear in Yosemite, but maybe those were black bears. I’m afraid they trigger my avoidance behaviors. We push out all the other major predators, don’t we? We just can’t stand a little competition.
Avoidance is a good strategy with bears, but historically I think people were overly fearful of bears and reacted hostilely in reaction to the fear. ):
Beautiful shots of the two – again. you read us right in wanting more photos…lovely to see how the little one is learning too.
So happy you enjoyed these rarely seen beauties & cheers to you!
