SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - A mama bear and her two cubs in the Gardner Mountain area of South Lake Tahoe have been popular neighbors over the past summer. The family roams from the Upper Truckee Marsh to the Tahoe Keys and sometimes into Camp Richardson.
The cubs are what is known as "Cubs of the Year," meaning they were born in January 2018. They'll hang out with their mother over the winter and then will part ways around May or June 2019.
Both cubs are big and healthy as shown here. On Tuesday, November 13, local resident Ernie Claudio took these photos of the cubs in his backyard, drinking water from a fountain and even sitting at his table.
