I was thinking something along those lines, different area slightly different colouring. I know you probably don't know but wondering if dad might of being black.
I know species wide color variation is common; the bears in the East are more likely to be black than the bears in the West, which are typically lighter brown. But I was surprised to see these two cubs with such distinct colors. Anyone out there know?

Love love love the added pics!! You were so close!! Mom didn't seem to mind!?! ;-)
great spotting
lovely and cute spot!!
Emily, the last two pictures are of the mother. At this point the two cubs were up in the tree and she was sitting watch at the base.

How sweet!! They are so adorable!! Great first spotting, Brett! Welcome to PN!
Oh and welcome to Project Noah!
Amazing! Beautiful capture! Is that the Mother in the second and third picture or one of the cubs?
One brown and one black, is what I mean :-)
I love black bears!
Is it normal for this kind of colour shift in the species?? Don't know much about bears but it just looks interesting :-)
