Side by Side

Description

It's easy to see the size difference here: Mom is not that much bigger and she is too small for hibernation.....so she is on a calorie hunt every waking minute (unless she is trying to figure out where her cub has wandered off to) This is late Summer, almost fall so she needs to fatten right up
