I'm back here mom... - a photo on Flickriver

            Late May early June the coastal brown bears come down from the mountains to eat the sedge grass and mate. The cubs that are present are yearlings, born last year. The sows that have just given birth avoid this time as the boars might kill their young. They come down later when its safe.

Here a sow and her cub have eaten their fill of the grass and are watching something in the distance. The sow still has a blade of grass sticking from her mouth, much like a tooth pic, while her cub places its paw on her rump. I found this pose to be rather amusing as I oftentimes wonder about the behavior we see. Is the cub just letting her know it's still there or just wants contact with mom?
