1. 子オオカミは小さい頃と同じように何をしますか?
2. クマはどこに近づいていますか?
3. なぜクマは子オオカミを狙うのか?

You can see how the younger wolves are excited by the arrival of their father, Storm. These younger wolves are his pups from previous years. In fact, they still lick at his mouth to be fed like they did when they were small. It's so rare to see this. I feel very lucky.
But then, my eye in the sky spots a black bear approaching the den. I see it before the wolves do. They don't realize the approaching threat. While the black bear would be hard-pressed to take on an adult, it could be after the pups. Every time the bear tries to go into the trees where the pups are, Storm bites him in the rear but forcing the bear to turn back to face them. By working together, a combination of pushing from behind and leading him on, Storm and his offspring get the bear away from the den. I think that bears just as happy as the wolves to be out of there.
