Description

Play fighting, albeit very boisterous and aggressive at times, is an essential part of bear development and these two young cubs fought relentlessly whilst their watchful mother grazed in the natural meadow. This image was captured late in the evening, providing a soft light with just enough contrast to highlight the cottongrass.
