Black Bear - Anchorage, Alaska. We were driving in a woody section of Anchorage, Alaska in the vicinity of a triathlon, when a mother bear and two cubs ran in front of our car and into the woods. I was not fast enough with my camera to get a good shot of the mother bear, but one of the cubs was curious and watched me from a tree near the road. He eventually climbed very high into the tree. His mother had disappeared by then, but I could hear that she was close. The people running the triathlon decided that she was a smart bear that did not pose a danger to the bicyclists and runners.

On the Kenai Fjords National Parks Cruise we passed by a mountain goat and her kid. Between the moving boat and the moving goats, I was unable to get a photo in which both the nanny and the kid were visible. For a photo of the kid, see www.ipernity.com/doc/304817/39143416 AIMG 5244
