"In the den are a sow and an undetermined number of cubs. The agency can’t confirm how many cubs are in the den as the cam view currently is mostly of the mother’s back. The mother bear will groom and nurse the cubs several times a day, according to PGC."

“As we move through March, the cubs will become more visible and active,” the PGC said in a Facebook post Tuesday.
