A mother bear is very protective of her cub. She can get very aggressive and attack if someone or other animals get close to them.Mother bears are dedicated to their cubs, yet stern so they learn to survive out on their own when they are old enough.
The bears make dens in snowbanks in preparation for the birth of their cubs. Cubs are usually born in the Winter and stay in the den until Spring when they emerge with their mother.
The mother feeds the cubs milk for 2 to 2 and a half years during which time she protects them and teaches them to hunt their own food. During the whole period in the den (4 to 8 months) the mother does not leave to eat or drink. When the family comes out of the den in Spring, the mother hunts for seals to break her fast.
The cubs stay with the mother bear for 2-3 years, nursing while they are with her. As they grow older, they nurse less as they learn how to hunt. Eventully, the mother bear drives them away.
