Camping in back country of Alaska, I walked down to the beach, sat down to watch the sunset. Looked to my left and this beautiful brown bear and her 3 cubs were walking right up to me. I didn’t want to startle her but I made sure she knew I was there and let her walk right by me. One of the cubs locked in on my shoe as it walked past, clearly wanting to play with it so I pulled my leg back and they carried on their way down the beach. Such an insane encounter. I love these animals. (I have over 10 years of bear guiding experience. All bears can be dangerous, never put yourself in a situation like this unless you’re with a professional bear guide)

Alaskan Brown bear brings her cubs over to us after being chased by a big boar on the coast of Alaska. *I am a professional bear guide with over 10 years of experience do not attempt* We set up in low tide viewing this bear from about 100 yards away, then from the other side of ther, a boar (male brown bear) chased her and her cubs in our direction. Making sure to not startle her by standing and moving around, we stayed put. I spoke to her calmly throughout the encounter, she continued clamming near us but then carried on with the cubs. Although close encounters are intentionally avoided because bears can be unpredictable, Sometimes there is no option to get out of the way. So we remained calm and let the encounter take its course. It’s important to understand this is a Coastal Brown bear that is used to humans being around, she understands we are not a threat. This would play out different with a non habituated bear. If you ever intend on coming to Alaska to see bears on the coast, always hire an experienced guide. Never approach bears under any circumstances. This is a unique situation in this region and I have been around this particular bear and others like her here for over 10 years. There is nowhere else in the world I would feel comfortable being this close to a Bear with cubs.
