“The Vole and the Cub” – Wapusk National Park – Manitoba – Canada

I just came back from a two-weeks assignment in polar bear country. This year was characterized by the unusual presence of hundreds of caribou in the denning area. The disturbance in the snow due to the caribou made it really difficult for the trackers to find the bears. I was still blessed with four beautiful encounters, though, one of which was quite unexpected. An unwise vole decided to have a close look to the family! She escaped from the cub’s mouth, miraculously – only to be cough a few minutes later by mama’s unforgiving jaws.
