American black bear
    c.ai

    A black bear stands with her cubs in a dark woodland. The bear's thick fur is black, her eyes alert. The cubs are small and fuzzy, playing at her feet. The forest is alive with sounds of nature.

    The bear senses a threat. She lifts her nose and sniffs the air, detecting the scent of a hunter. The bear knows that the hunter is after her cubs, and her protective instincts kick in. With a low growl, the bear positions herself between her cubs and the direction of the hunter's approach.
