Bear Cubs!

The early morning cub feeding, if you were wondering they are fed a lambs milk and Stacy is trying to get Potter to show me his paw.
Success! I love their paws! Can you believe that these guys where 7 oz. when they were born! About the size of a stick of butter.
This is Favre showing off for me. All six cubs are show offs, if there's a camera they will be cute.
All the cubs are male, which is why Wrangler is holding hands/paws with Morgan.
Stacy and her boys Barrett and Potter. She has raised these guys since they were 8 weeks old, she is their mother. If you mess with one of her cubs she does turn into a mother bear.
All three of these cuties are black bears. L-R Barrett, Radar and Potter.

Potter was curious about me being there with my shiny camera. Did you know black bears come in 17 different shades. They range from pitch black to cinnamon, red and all the shades of browns.
Slightly out of order but Barrett, Radar and Potter again.
Potter again. These cubs where born at the end of January and they already weight 70 lbs! Even though they are cubs I still get the instinct to run when they come at me.

Nikki showing me Potter's paw pad. They have the cutest paws ever!
Ever the adult black bears lay like this. It's SO cute!!!
