Follow Canadian Immigration and Life in Canada: Maternal love is boundless, and in fact, it knows no borders; maternal love in the animal kingdom is equally delicate, gentle, and nurturing. On November 21, in the wilderness of Kootenay in Western Canada, 62-year-old wildlife photographer Don Johnston captured a scene of a mother bear patiently teaching her cubs how to fish, with every gesture revealing her deep care for her offspring.
Johnston's photos, filled with love, record the entire process of the mother bear teaching this "essential lesson": the mother bear led her three cubs through the water to an area rich in salmon. She climbed onto a broken tree branch and patiently waited for her children to struggle their way up to her side. Once ready, the mother bear entered the river and skillfully caught fish for her cubs. The bear cubs played, peered at the water's surface, and jumped into the water to share the delicious catch provided by their mother. Unexpectedly, the mother bear even "high-fived" her playful cubs to show encouragement.
