The cubs are very active and once outside, quite vulner-
able. For a year they stay with their mother, who protects
them from every danger while they learn how to look after
themselves. Because they are fed constantly for a certain
length of time, they grow quickly. Always playing games,

each other. Like other animal parents, mother bears can be
very ferocious towards intruders who may want to harm
their cubs. For three years, the mother bear looks after and
protects her cubs constantly. 14
