More from this raucous roving boy-duo, from last spring.
It's hard for me to tell whether these are two yearlings, newly-emancipated by their Mama, and roving about -- or whether they are sub-adults just having a good time practicing being fierce. Regardless, they were clearly having fun challenging each other and exploring and playing.
Most young male bears end up having to move, to stake their claim elsewhere, so this may be among the last times I saw these two. I'm so glad they enjoyed their visit on my little mountain top.
