Bears Page #4

Synopsis: In an epic story of breathtaking scale, Disneynature's new True Life Adventure "Bears" showcases a year in the life of a bear family as two impressionable young cubs are taught life's most important lessons. Set against a majestic Alaskan backdrop teeming with life, their journey begins as winter comes to an end and the bears emerge from hibernation to face the bitter cold. The world outside is exciting-but risky-as the cubs' playful descent down the mountain carries with it a looming threat of avalanches. As the season changes from spring to summer, the brown bears must work hard to find food-ultimately feasting at a plentiful salmon run-while staying safe from rival male bears and predators, including an ever-present wolf. "Bears" captures the fast-moving action and suspense of life in one of the planet's last great wildernesses-Alaska!

after them.

Chinook is much

stronger than Sky,

but she'll fight with

everything she's got

to give her cubs

a chance to escape.

The cubs make a run for it.

Sky tries to

lead him away,

but instead of

following her,

Chinook heads straight

for the cubs.

He knows they can't

have gotten far.

Chinook's powerful

sense of smell

tells him the cubs are

hiding in the logs.

But which ones?

Sky is desperately searching

for her cubs.

Amber.

But no sign of Scout.

Amber doesn't want to leave the

meadow without her brother.

But Sky knows they need

to keep moving.

Chinook could come back

at any moment.

She still has Amber

to protect,

no matter how much she

wants to look for Scout.

It's not an easy decision.

There he is!

Back together again.

Sky knows another

spot up the coast

her mother took

her to long ago.

As she leads

her cubs there,

she must be hoping her

luck will start changing.

Midsummer brings longer

days and a new place to feed.

While Sky and the cubs are

moving to a safer place to eat

the rest of the bears leave the

meadow, and head for the shore.

Chinook is already here.

And so is Magnus.

For now, they wait,

and wait.

It's salmon!

The first opportunity to fish.

It has been a full year

since the bears went fishing.

Looks like they're a bit rusty.

"I got it!

I got it!"

"I... I had it. "

"These are really

slippery fish. "

Only Magnus has

dignity here.

Magnus doesn't

have to fish,

because he has a plan.

He's going to take

whatever Chinook catches.

"Yeah, that's it, Chinook. "

"Get me that fish. "

"Good bear. "

Magnus moves in.

Magnus ultimately wins,

and Chinook can

only limp away

watching his hard-earned meal

go to someone else's stomach.

Chinook won't forget this.

Far from the danger of the

crowded salmon beach,

Sky and her cubs are still searching

for a quiet place to feed.

Scout gets distracted

by the tiniest things,

slowing them down.

They're being followed.

Tikani has sensed

an opportunity.

If he's quiet enough,

he can snatch

a dawdling cub.

Scout attacks!

Tikani wants Scout

to follow him.

Get him alone.

But Sky stays close.

Only Sky can

chase Tikani off.

This mama bear's keeping

a good eye on her cubs.

Tikani's usual tricks

aren't working,

but that doesn't

mean he's giving up.

Just a few miles

up the coast

Sky follows the

raven's call

to a very special place.

A hidden sanctuary

where the bears can

let down their guard.

Nice find, Mr. Raven.

Good eye.

Sky must be worried

about her milk supply.

If she doesn't eat tons of salmon

by the end of the summer,

she won't have enough fat stored up

to feed Scout and Amber

through next
