Occurred on June 25, 2019 / Hallo Bay, Katmai National Park, Alaska
Info from Licensor: "I was guiding a group of photographers along the coastal region of Katmai National Park in Alaska. Katmai is a spectacular park that is only accessible by boat or airplane and has the highest concentration of brown bears in the world. As we waited near the meadow, a large mama bear with 3 cubs walked near us. She was looking around for danger when she spotted a large male bear very close. She stood up to get a better look and then moved her cubs quickly to safety. It was amazing to see such a powerful, protective mama bear perfectly protecting her cubs."
