This wildlife scene is entitled "The Fruit Thieves", by Skye Ryan-Evans and was created from Skye's photography, to raise awareness about wildlife protection, especially in areas where people still think hunting bears is an acceptable pasttime. Black Bears are much needed to balance the ecology and deserve to be treated with respect. The huge Bear and cub who posed for this artwork were both non-threatening and the Mother was merely curious. After I took a group of photos of them, they simply returned to eating fruit from the nearby trees and ignored us knowing we weren't a threat to them either. 25% of proceeds from the sale of any item in this collection, is donated to Defenders of Wildlife at: www.defenders.org.
