A mother Grizzly Bear in the Khuzeymateen comes out of the forest and assesses the surroundings looking for other bears which may kill her young cubs.

She deemed that the Coast is Clear and you can see her cubs starting to emerge from the forest.  I like how she stands on this fallen log to give her a better view.
