Big Momma

Black Bears normally have one or two cubs per season..........This "BIG MOMMA" adding to the population nicely----hopefully she can provide for all of them and protect them as well......not an easy job with this brood!


Black bears (Ursus americanus) typically give birth to two cubs; on rare occasions, one or three. So when photographer Tom Sears heard of a black bear sow in New Hampshire with five cubs, he lingered by their favorite trail in the hopes of photographing them together. "After spending nearly four hours a day, seven, days a week, for six weeks:' says Sears, "I had that once in a lifetime opportunity."
