We get lots of views of the cubs on this day!

At the Wildlife Research Institute, biologists Lynn Rogers, Ph.D. and Sue Mansfield, M.S., along with their team of researchers, have spent over 44 years studying black bears and sharing their information with the public. Their work has been recognized as one of the four major studies of large mammals in the world.
Using trust rather than traps and tranquilizers, they are conducting the longest, most detailed study of black bear behavior and ecology ever done. A focus is on reducing bear-human conflict.
They share information with the public through publications, lectures, field courses, the Internet (bear.org and bearstudy.org), TV documentaries, and the North American Bear Center. The Center is dedicated to advancing the long-term survival of bear populations by replacing misconceptions with facts.
Many people say these nonprofit organizations have changed their lives by giving them a better understanding about black bears and making it possible for them to fully enjoy living and hiking in bear habitat.

I hope, that Jewel has plenty of milk for both of the cubs or is it normal for the cubs to cry all the time in the beginning? Love listening to the cub sounds though! Thanks for sharing!

...so sweet seeing the tiny white feet bottoms
thank-you for sharing these glimpses of the wee ones ...I'm curious as to what percent is waking vs sleeping ...I'm thinking the greater portion sleeping

The cubs are quite unsettled right now. The little ones will eventually find a nipple of their own and all will be calmer for Jewel. For a first time mother, she sure has her paws full. She looks out at the cam once in awhile almost as if to say, please help me Lord. ( :
