Brown Bear cub climbing a tree at Martinselkonen

Martinselkonen, Suomussalmi, Finland (June 2013)
This photo was taken on a Nature Images Finland Bears trip led by Mark Sisson.
Bear cubs shot up vertical tree trunks with ease at the slightest hint of danger, usually when a male appeared. This photograph was taken at 5:00 pm from one of the forest hides; sunset was at midnight and sunrise at about 2:30 am. Generally Bear activity declined substantially around 11:00 pm when all the food had been eaten. After this time, only an occasional Bear passed through and didn't linger. This was a good time to catch a few hours of sleep! Photographers remain in the hides overnight until about 7:00 am the next morning, having entered them around 4:00 pm the previous evening.
