"To some, all teachers have the determined look and sense of purpose this mother grizzly has. The snows of winter are receding, and it's time these two young cubs started learning the business of survival in the Alaskan wilderness.

"The seasoned adult is intent on finding new shoots of grass along the river bank. The spring cubs, consumed with curosity in this new territory, are determined to explore and investigate. Like school children everywhere, lessons can wait when fun and adventure invite them to play." - Stephen Lyman
