Grizzly Bear Tension Rises as Mating Season Begins

While larger Male grizzly bears often intimidate and drive away smaller males during the mating season, these two are suspected of being Siblings that are close in size. We are not certain, but suspect this fight escalated as a result of the obvious and it is interesting that the third Grizzly Bear interferes, possibly showing who it favors. They are not harmed at all with being shot by these colors (paint ball type gun), and because there are so many Grizzly Bears in the area, it does help identify them.
