Kermode Bear - aka. "Spirit Bear"
My first viewing of Clover - a Kermode Bear that was orphaned, captured and re-located to the BC Wildlife Park in Kamloops, BC, a few years ago. Spirit Bears are a rare phase of the Black Bear, resulting from a recessive gene. They are NOT Albinos.
There are fewer than 400 of these bears left in the wild, mostly within the vicinity of Northern BC's Great Bear Rainforest. Their habitat has been under threat in the past by logging and more recently by the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline by Enbridge.
