Higher Ground 📽 by @aack_jnderson With her cub safely out of harm's way, this cinnamon black bear mama only has to worry about herself when the coyotes make another pass. This little standoff lasted roughly 30 minutes, and the coyotes made multiple passes before mom was forced to leave her cub and head for a better place to mount a defense. Once the coyotes realized the cub was out of play they quickly lost interest, and soon after they moved on the cub rejoined her mom and they shuffled off into the sunset, together again. #natureismetal #keepnaturemetal - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Subscribe to NatureisMetal on YouTube!
