This is the incredible moment two bear cubs held hands as they waited for their mother to catch them a fish supper in Alaska.
The pictures show the two cubs stood side-by-side as the smaller one paws at the bigger sibling’s back while they stare intently at their mother, who was hunting for salmon.
Isn’t that adorable? The smaller bear held out his bear for his sibling to hold as they watched their mother hunt for salmon
Mr Kemper said: ‘Although bears love their fish, most of them are omnivores and mainly eat plants and of course, a lot of grass.
The bears watch closely as their mother hunts for fish in Lake Clark. Brown bears are quite common in Alaska
Have you got anything yet, mum? The cubs watched attentively as their mum goes in for the kill
Drawn a blank: The mother bear splashes through the shallow water but came back empty-handed
Salmon are one of the favourite things in the brown bear’s diet and are rich in protein
Mr Kemper said bears were incredibly calm animals, which makes them a joy to photograph
Can we help? The cubs follow their mother’s every move but they were all out of luck
The bear cubs trot off with their mother looking for a more profitable feeding ground
Better luck tomorrow, maybe: The cubs trudge off behind their mother. Lake Clark is 40 miles long and five miles wide
