Alaska II - Who Is Number One ? / by Dave Hileman

These two grizzlies are - according to our pilot/guide, either 4 or five year olds and this is typical of that age. They tend to stay together a year or two after leaving mom and eventually they each choose their own path. Here the playful actions are also showing a bit of dominance and the one on the left was first to cross rivers, fish, walk near us etc.
