Mama Bear and Cub Enjoy a Good Scratch

Occurred on August 2021 / Vernon, New Jersey, USA

: "Studying bears in the wild and living in the country for many years has become my passion. Several bears have earned my trust to the level of enjoying a back scratch from me. I have learned to respect the bear’s comfort level, while in my presence. While doing this, some bears literally accepted me as part of their clan. They know my scent and would take off in the woods if any other person or unfamiliar scent came by."
