Yellowstone National Park is known for its incredible wildlife, including the iconic brown bear. While adult brown bears are impressive and awe-inspiring, their cubs are equally adorable and fascinating. In this blog, we will take a closer look at brown bear cubs in Yellowstone National Park.
Brown bear cubs are born in the winter, typically in January or February. Cubs weigh just one pound at birth and are completely dependent on their mother’s milk for the first few months of their life. During this time, the cubs stay in their den, which their mother prepares by lining it with leaves, grass, and other materials. The den provides warmth and protection from the harsh winter weather.

In the spring, when the snow begins to melt, the mother and her cubs emerge from the den. At this point, the cubs weigh around 10-15 pounds and are curious and playful. They stay close to their mother, who teaches them essential survival skills such as how to find food and avoid danger. The mother bear is fiercely protective of her cubs and will defend them from any threat.
