Chloe and Cubs - UPDATE August 13, 2021

On this Friday the 13th , it was actually a nice blue sky day and bear visits. It was nice to see Chloe and her growing cubs. Three-year-old Chloe was defensive as usual. When a bear came too close, she gave him a look and went after him, vocalizing that he was in trouble. Chloe’s cubs leaped up a nearby white pine with Lincoln racing high up against the blue sky and Charlie Brown staying lower.

The striking thing about both cubs is how much they’ve grown. To show how much Charlie Brown has grown and changed color, here is a picture of him from June 4. That was before he shed his cub fur and grew in darker brown fur. His father named Rusty was brown. Charlie Brown’s fur will likely bleach to a lighter brown before he sheds it next summer.
Thank you for all you do.
