A mama bear and her three cubs were living near an apartment complex at the Y in South Lake Tahoe for several months. One day while mama bear was away, local Erik Dahman got a photo of one of the cubs. He pulled out his camera, the cub looked up at him, stood up on it's hind legs, put its paw on the tree, tilted its head, and Erik took the shot.
Thank you Erik for this great photo!

"The sudden lowering of skin temperature on immersion in cold water represents one of the most profound stimuli that the body can encounter." Golden and Tipton in Essentials of Sea Survival
The Nevada Department of Wildlife is increasing their educational campaign for boaters and swimmers to understand the dangers of cold water at Lake Tahoe.
