These mama Bear quotes explain a mother’s instinct, love, and protective nature.

Some of them are also cute and funny and perfect for Instagram!

Human mothers are often referred to as mama bears, especially when they are extra protective of their children.

Are mother bears really one of the most protective animal mom’s?

Well, according to science it depends on the type of bear.

Black bears are much less likely to attack—even when their young are threatened.

Studies by Al Erickson and Lynn Rogers both seemed to conclude that a black bear would abandon their young if the cub was captured in their presence.

Now, personally, I would not test this theory. It is always good practice to never get between an animal and her offspring.

While the black bear might not become overly aggressive and attempt to eat your face, the same can not be said about a grizzly bear mama.

This one, you definitely do not want to encounter.

Obviously, grizzlies are a more violent bear to begin with, but throw in a cub, and you are about to have a very bad day.

The grizzly bear is a fierce and brutal animal, and an angry mama will show these traits in spades!

According to Bear.org, 70% of human deaths attributed to grizzly bears is due to a mother grizzly bear defending her cubs.

What is a grizzly bear like?

The grizzly bear has no enemies or predators in the wild.

The grizzly is a subspecies of the European and Asian brown bear.

They can be found roaming the wild in Alaska and Canada.

Many grizzly bears are also found in parks and reserves in Montana and Wyoming.

Fun fact, when visiting national parks like Glacier and Yellowstone you will encounter lots of bear related signage.

Bear spray is required on the trails and park officials recommend wearing bear bells to help avoid an encounter.

One of the strangest things you will find in the parks and parts of Montana is the bear trash can!

These trash cans are no ordinary receptacle!

They are large heavy steel containers with a special locking lid.

You have to slide your hand into the handle area and release the latch.

They are quite annoying for a human, and next to impossible for the bears to open.

They keep food remnants sealed away, which helps keep the bears away from areas frequented by people.

Whether or not the grizzly mama bear is the most protective animal mom (research points to that title actually belongs to the mama elephant), doesn’t mean she won’t come after you to protect her cubs.

According to oneearth.org, the bear that takes care of its young the best, is actually a panda bear!
