Default How common is this?

Coming out of the bush last night and spotted bears in the ditch. Get up closer and here it's a sow with 4 yearling cubs. 1 black,2 cinnamon, and a blonde. I've seen the odd one with three but never four and was wondering how common this is.

No idea. In my life I have seen 4 cubs with the sow twice and one sow with 5. So many colors running around it looked like the UN!

I have never seen one until yesterday. I was curious as to what others thought.
The whole family was on the thin side which is to expected. Took me a second to realize what I was looking at.
