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.

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.
