Black Bear Teaches Her Cub to Leave Scent

Occurred on December 30, 2019 / Collier County, Florida, USA

Info from Licensor: A Florida black bear teaches her cub to scratch and leave scent on an old creosote post in the Big Cypress National Preserve. The post has been chewed down but is sturdy and I believe the creosote may hold scent longer which is why bears like to use them. The cub loves it as they have been here before. Actually, generations of Florida black bears visit this location in a secluded Oak Hammock in the amazing Big Cypress Swamp.
