bear cubs
Young woodland mammals
Bear cubs are young bears, typically from birth until they become independent from their mother at around two to three years of age.
Cubs are born small and helpless, and in many bear species spend their first winter in the den with their mother.
The term emphasizes their juvenile status: We spotted a mother bear with two cubs along the trail.
