Bear Cub exploring
Bear cubs have to learn most of everything they need to know to survive, including what plants are edible and which are not. This cub's curiosity led it to explore and pick up objects like this beach plant. Once in its hands, the cub examined the object closely, sniffed it, and sometimes bit it.
