HALLO BAY, ALASKA: THE MOMENT an adorable six-month old grizzly bear cub gets a piggy-back from its mummy has been captured. Pictures show this cute encounter, in what could be the cosiest way to travel. Other pictures reveal the bear family staying very close to its matriarch as a threatening male bear approached them. Thankfully, there was no need to fear as the grizzly mummy bear soon sent him off with a flea in his ear. American photographer David Silverman (53) travelled to Hallo Bay, Alaska to spend time snapping these adorable creatures.
