There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

It doesn't matter how old a son is. Even big and strong he is always a small boy for his mother.
Grizzly Sow 815 and her 2+ years old male cub grazing along Obsidian Creek today. It was a nice warm sunny day which made it hard to get good photos but we had a nice time watching this pair hunting for grubs in the downed timber.
815 is a special bear to me, she was the first bear I saw with cubs the year I moved to Yellowstone, and I have often seen her and her various sets of cubs for the last 8+ years. She has had many names: Mini Mom (due to her small size), Obsidian Sow (because she is seen first every Spring along Obsidian Creek, and lately she has be known simply by her bear number, 815.
