Travelling through a region in the northwest of my home province of British Columbia, Canada, I spotted a brown figure moving through the shrubbery out of the corner of my eye. I pulled over, and moments later, a mother Grizzly Bear emerged from the forest, leading her cubs across the highway. The young cubs seemed both curious and intimidated by their unknown surroundings. Animals frequently show me that they are so much more complex and may have much more emotion than we often give them credit for.
