Andean bear cubs

May 14, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

Early in the morning on December 13, 2012, Billie Jean, the female Andean bear at the Smithsonian National Zoo, gave birth to twins, Curt and Nicole. The zoo put the Andean bear cubs on display for the first time last weekend and I was there on Mother's Day to bask in their adorable playfulness.

Here are five of my favorite images of the bear cubs. Want to see them bigger? Just click on an image.
