Grizzly Bear female
Bella Coola, BC
This female is actually eating a salmon, it is mid-munch and you can just see the salmon next to her front paws. Her two cubs were in the forest behind her and we watched her feeding for a good 15 minutes on 2-3 salmon before heading back into the forest and nursing them, you could hear the noise of them suckling.
This was taken just around the corner from the official bear viewing point, I really felt for the huge crowd standing on the platform, I could see them but there was no way they would've been able to see the bear! It must've been a tough decision for them whether to stay on the platform or get in their cars and come round to where I was, inevitably after a 30 minute wait she never came back out of the forest.
