And now, the set of images of the bear cub appearing to play peek-a-boo
with Barrett, dancing a jig and even leaping from his mother’s back have
thousands of fans after Barrett posted them on social media earlier this
month. Barrett, from Tennessee, said: “It was always a goal of mine to
one day get to photograph a brown bearon its mother’s back. “I couldn’t
make this happen, but I thought if I spent enough time in the field I
would one day have my chance. I was eating supper when I saw a cub on
the back down the meadow, and instantly quit eating and hurried down
there as fast as I could. “To my great surprise, the cub continually
climbed on its mothers back this evening. I was trying to control my
excitement and steady the lens to capture great images. “I knew a night
like this would never happen again. The other sibling never climbed on
the back, but it was very playful. The two cubs would run around and
play in the grass and get pretty far away from mother. They would
occasionally stand to look and see where mother bear was. They played
for such a long time, and when they stood they would wave their arms
trying to balance and see where their mother was.”
