These polar bear cubs are 8 months old. They will stay with their mother (watching out of frame) for another year and a half before they are ready to venture out on their own. They were so curious of us humans watching from a giant, silent, tundra buggy. 🌿🦊🐻‍❄️

A pair of smallish, wet and bedraggled polar bear cubs look towards the photographer from behind some boulders along the beach. Some pink fireweed in the foreground add a pop of colour to the scene.
