Canadian Black Bear.
This one caused quite a Bear Jam on the Icefield Parkway, Alberta, Canada.
"Although they are called black bears, colours can range from black to cinnamon brown, silver-blue and occasionally even white. The white bears are called “Spirit” or” Kermode” bears. The black bear has a straight face profile and NO shoulder hump, he has shorter and darker claws.
Black bears have lost over 60 % of their historical range in North America. As human settlement increases, preserving large areas of undeveloped land where bears and other animals can thrive is vital. Other problems include a lack of food sources and water and denning sites.
Both black bears and grizzly bears hibernate in the winter. They eat enormous amounts of food in the autumn to prepare for this, to provide enough fat content to survive denning through the winter. When they emerge from the den in the spring, they are very hungry. Cubs are born in the winter den, so females in spring might have cubs with them, which they will defeat vigorously."
