I have found myself going momma bear a few times. Heaven help anyone who tries to hurt my boys. Once I even went a little momma bear on my husband. He was driving a little too fast or recklessly, in my opinion, and I had my cubs strapped in their car seats in the back of the car. It wasn't pretty. If I remember correctly, I may have threatened to rip his arm off and beat him with it if he didn't slow down and be careful right then. I'm not a violent person, per se, but when it comes to my children, I would not hesitate to do whatever I needed to do to protect them.
Also, here's a little lesson dads can learn from nature: Daddy bears usually stay clear of momma bears right after she has her cubs. I mean, unless he wants to help clean the cave or take the cubs for a stroll to give momma bear some rest, daddy bears know it's best to just steer clear of momma bear until she gets feeling back to her normal self. =)
By the way, I took this awesome picture of this momma bear nursing her cubs (yes, I know this goes against everything I just said, but I feel like this momma bear and I had an understanding, and I had a really good zoom on the camera, and I felt like I could outrun some of the other people that were there at the time). I love how she's slouched against a tree and looks so thrilled. I know that feeling sometimes. Don't get me wrong, nursing is great, but every two to three hours, really?! =)
