In Yosemite National Park, two tiny bear cubs stopped traffic and have become a viral video sensation on the internet.
The palm-sized bears scrambled around the road, pushing and pawing at each other, while motorists gathered and a wary mother bear kept watch nearby.

Brown bear, Buskin River, Kodiak Alaska 100912-152a

This bear had been fishing in the river on this morning. It climbed onto the bank and laid down in the grass. This photo was taken about an hour after sunrise just as the sun was starting to clear the trees. The temperature was near the dew point and steam was rising off its body. It didn’t seem at all concerned by the fishermen in the river or the photographer on the bank.
