A young Grizzly Bear laid down and relaxed while his mother fished close-by in the Great Bear Rainforest.  I love how he laid his paw over the tree stump with the claws on full display.

It was quite interesting, because I saw these two cubs on the first trip in 2019 to the Great Bear Rainforest, and they were a little tentative, so to see them a couple weeks later looking so relaxed means that their mothers behaviour towards us had really rubbed off on them.
