Here’s a motherly exhibit from the Hall of North American Mammals: the Grizzly Bear diorama! This scene takes place on a morning in Yellowstone National Park, and this grizzly bear mom is showing her six-month-olds how to tear open a rotted pine for ants and grubs to eat. You’d be wise to avoid stumbling upon this scene in the wild. Grizzly bears are unpredictable and may become aggressive if interrupted while eating or tending cubs. Fun fact: The nickname “grizzly” comes from the grizzled, or silver-tipped, hairs on their backs and shoulders. #MothersDay Photo: D. Finnin/© AMNH
