Bears Page #3

are loving their first

day at the beach.

But Sky can't afford

too much time playing.

She's got to keep searching

for clams while the tide is out.

Wherever Sky goes,

the raven follows.

The raven can spot an

opportunity from way up high,

while the bears got a nose

for finding hidden food.

An unusual partnership,

but it works.

"Hey, Mom, how do you open

one of these things, anyway?"

"Mom!"

"Never mind, I got it. I'm fine. "

"My claw has...

Mom, the... "

"Well, what do you do if your

claw gets stuck in the clam?"

"Let go. "

"Mom, it's stuck in my claw!"

"What are you

looking at, bird?"

"This is how I carry it. "

"Just walk it over here. Just taking

my clam for a walk, that's all. "

"Let go of my claw, clam!"

"Let go!"

"I didn't want that

clam anyway. "

Sky and the cubs are far from the

shore when the tide starts to turn.

Sky is trying to get as

much food as she can

before the water

covers up the mud.

Scout doesn't know what's

about to happen to the tide.

He's just tired

from a long day.

And now, they are

surrounded by water.

Freezing cold water.

When Sky finally heads

back to the shore,

she assumes both her cubs

are close behind.

It's a mistake.

Scout is too tired

to keep going.

Amber notices that Scout isn't

just dawdling this time.

He's asleep.

When Scout wakes up,

he sees he's stranded

far from the shore.

He desperately

calls for his mother.

And she calls back.

Urging him to hurry.

The current is much

stronger now,

and Scout is really struggling

to get back on land.

Scout stayed tough and

made it safely to the shore.

And the cubs, well,

they look pretty happy

to see each other.

As the weeks progress,

the weather warms,

and the mudflats are

no longer so exposed.

Time to head back

to the meadow,

where it's bursting

with color.

Scout and Amber are bonding during

these early days of summer,

while their mother watches

from a safe distance.

With no fish nearby,

it's back to eating grass.

Scout is less

than impressed.

By this time of year,

everything tastes a little stale and dry.

With food in such

short supply,

even the female bears

are getting a little cranky.

These fierce head-to-heads

may be short,

but they are becoming

more frequent.

It's getting tense.

The cubs know something

feels wrong.

There's nowhere to hide.

Everyone is watching them.

Seeing her cubs

getting nervous,

Sky goes to their

side to protect them.

Magnus.

And this time,

he's really hungry.

He's spotted the cubs.

Sky must quickly

decide what to do.

She runs, hoping

to find safety.

It's a choice,

she will soon regret.

Chinook!

Round two and

ready to fight.

He takes off
