Grizzly Bear
Male Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) stopping to smell the flowers on his daily trek in search of a prospective female along the shores of the K'tzim-a-deen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary north of Prince Rupert along the maritime coast of British Columbia, Canada.
It is breeding season for these bears and the males wander the shoreline in search of receptive females. They sometime encounter males in a similar mode and fights do ensue. This bear has the wounds of an old encounter with another male.
