Amaizing capture!!!
One interesting note: mother and cub with learn to identify eachother by smell. Right after birth, the first thing the mother do is to smell the cub and have him recognize her smell too, and that is why you will see them touching noses. The smell will get imprinted in the cub's brain. Many other mammals have the same behavior, specially ruminants.
Again, great shot!!

What a great capture this is. Very sweet and a great B/W too. I'd say: enlarge and frame it. Well done.
