A gentler view of Bear relationships


Last week I posted a photo and description of Brown Bear sex lives.  I thought I should also mention that we saw another instance where a male bear approached a female and just kind of gently nuzzled her before just wandering away.  I know that I am probably humanizing this behavior but it appeared to us that this was a kind of show of affection.  It only lasted for a few seconds but I did get this photo showing the two together – you be the judge….

Affection? – or just a passing sniff?
