Passage:
In spring, polar bear mothers emerge from dens with three months old cubs. The
mother bear has fasted for as long as eight months but that does not stop the
young from demanding full access to her remaining reserves. If there are triplets,
the most persistent stands to gain an extra meal at the expense of others. The
smallest of the cubs forfeits many meals to stronger siblings. Females are
protective of their cubs but tend to ignore family rivalry over food. In 21 years
of photographing polar bears. I have only once seen the smallest of triplets
survive till autumn.
