Instincts

        A bear was sitting upon a rock. Behind her a wolf was watching. Closely next to the bear was her cubs. Delicately, she prodded them. Every move she made was watched by the wolf. For if it wasn't for the mother, the wolf would devour the cubs. Gallantly, the wolf strode into the bear's territory. Harrah, the mother bear, stood her ground and roared. Initiating an old fighting ritual, the wolf began to circle her. Just as Harrah roared a third time, the wolf pounced.
        Knelt on one knee was a human observer, photographing the action, from the safety of a ledge many ways away.
       Leaving not even a single cub to fend for themselves, Harrah attacked. Mother bear had hit the wolf in the snout. New power had come to her and she fought hard. Often, the wolf fell backwards. Perhaps it was luck, or good motherly habits, but the wolf retreated. Quickly, the wolf galloped back to his pack. Right as the wolf ran Harrah released a booming roar. Silently, the cubs came out of hiding and dashed to their mother. The skilled mother bear had successfully defender her kin. Uncertain if the wolf would come back when she was feeding, Harrah decided to leave the plains. Very soon afterwards, the wolf in fact returned. Waiting for the rest of his pack to follow, the wolf searched for the cubs. Xiphoid, the teeth of the wolf were ready to tear and grind through their next meal.
       Yearning for a good action shot, the man had his finger on the capture button.
       Zealousness paid off for the vigorous mother bear this time.
