Mother and 2 cubs filmed encountering a herd of elk in an undisclosed area
When wildlife photographer Catherine Babault captured images of a female grizzly bear with two cubs encountering a herd of elk on Vancouver Island last month, she knew she had witnessed something special.
“I like to think of grizzly bears as the great cultivators. They are digging up the landscape. They’re eating berries and moving the seeds around,” said Scapillati.“Those forests and those salmon runs are trying to rebound, so a grizzly won’t just disperse seeds, like black bears, they will also drag more salmon out of the rivers and into the forest and that’s basically fertilizer,” said Scapillati.
In the encounter witnessed by Babault in early July, a group of Roosevelt elk walked toward the mother grizzly and her two cubs.
