A black bear cub walks along a dock railing at the United States Coast Guard dock in Petersburg, Alaska, Thursday Nov. 2, 2006. At least eight bear cubs have been seen without mothers this fall and biologists with the Department of Fish & Game think it is due to the poor salmon runs and low berry growth this summer. The agency has also contacted zoos for help since it is doubtful the cubs will survive the winter, but black bear cubs are not in demand.
