Hey folks, I'm crossing!

Grizzly cub crossing Haines highway somewhere between Haines - Alaska, USA - and Haines Junction - Yukon Territory, Canada.

The story: I watched for a couple hours a grizzly mom and her two cubs.
I was on the road (outside of my car, not a good example) and them on the hillside.
They close the road quietly when the mother suddenly decided to cross the road in front of me.
As I watches her - who had no aggressive - it is when she turned her head to see if the children followed, that I saw the cub standing in the middle of the pavement looked at me ...
When I take this photo, I'm in front of my car, she is at the rear, and I have an eye in the camera and the other for the mother.
300mm
A beautiful moment!

Grizzly mom with two cubs in the Denali National Park, Alaska, USA

On average, bear, grizzly females have two cubs in a litter and the mother cares for the cubs for up to two years, during which the mother will not mate. Once the young leave, females may not produce another litter for three or more years, depending on environmental conditions.
Except for cubs and females, grizzlies are normally solitary, active animals, but in coastal areas, the grizzly congregates alongside streams, lakes, rivers, and ponds during the salmon spawn.
The grizzly bear is listed as threatened in the contiguous United States and endangered in parts of Canada.
