Acanthus is a genus of about 30 species of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae, native to tropical and warm temperate regions, with the highest species diversity in the Mediterranean Basin and Asia. This flowering plant is nectar producing and is susceptible to predation by butterflies, such as Anartia fatima, and other nectar feeding organisms. Common names include Acanthus and Bear's breeches. The genus comprises herbaceous perennial plants, rarely subshrubs, with spiny leaves and flower spikes bearing white or purplish flowers. Size varies from 0.4 to 2 m in height. 6212
A shot from inside the car. He was so busy eating dandelions that he wasn't too concerned about anyone. Gorgeous bear.
A female Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) and her two young cubs wander the shores looking for some food on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. This family group was observed during our trip to Glendale Cove off Knight Inlet on a scheduled Grizzly Bear Tour with Tide Rip Grizzly Tours out of Telegraph Cove on the north end of Vancouver Island.

Most of the Bears love music and they like to hang near the gear. This guitar is my PRS Santana SE. I recently did some work on this guitar where I floated the trem, changed strings, and adjusted my intonation. Guitar players would know what I mean. I have been watching YouTube videos and learning more about guitar set-ups. I am a drummer first but also play guitar. I have two acoustics and 8 electrics.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
Just a few seconds of indirect light painting on this rock there in the Dolly Sods there at post sunset.
A Greater snowdrop 'Polar Bear' (Galanthus elwesii ‘Polar Bear’) is a late flowering variety of snowdrops with very attractive outward-facing, rather than nodding, flowers when fully opened. Taken in the garden. Bath, England, UK.
Thank you for your visit, comments and favours, very much appreciated.
I travelled to Kananaskis Country - a wilderness and recreational area west of Calgary, Canada - one cold, wet May morning, looking for bears. I knew that the weather would keep visitors and traffic to a minimum. I was fortunate to encounter this young bear, wet in the rain.
I can't state with certainty what type of bear this is, an immature black bear or a young grizzly. I suspect the former, as I can't see a hump, as the ears are not too short and as the face is elongated. But I'm not absolutely sure. Does it matter?
CHRISTMAS BEAR:
Hello bears around the world!
On December 1st... at midnight I left my hometown to deliver your Christmas presents on time.
I would like your wish list.
You can send the list to

A Brown Bear comes out of the dense vegetation along a river in Katmai National Park, Alaska. Fishermen and photographers along the banks of the river need to be alert as the bears' appearance can be rather sudden.
OLEG:
Hello Peter....what are you looking at?
PETER:
I'm watching to see if the Christmas bear is coming
Do you think he has read my wish list Oleg?
I would really like a wooden train and a pink tutu and a bottle of rosewater to give to my princess Rosie and.... and....chocolate...and...and....
I'm so nervous Oleg. Suppose he forgets me
OLEG:
He has definitely read your wish list Peter!
The Christmas bear doesn't forget anyone....including you.
This photo was taken in early May of 2021. At the time, I was still recovering from Covid and very weak. We decided to take a drive down to Denali National Park to see what we would find. Unfortunately, we went down on a weekend and the park was full of cars. There was a traffic jam of about 20 cars parked all over the road and most people were out of their cars chasing this poor bear. (Why anyone would want to chase a bear with a camera is beyond me) We drove past the traffic jam, took us about 10 minutes to pass the mess. We decided to park about a quarter mile past the crowd and just sit and watch the show. The bear was out of sight where we were sitting but the actions of the crowd showed us he was heading our way. Thankfully, most gave up and went back to their cars, a few were still running along the road. Sure enough, the bear emerged to our left and we took a few shots of it and decided to take off before the crowd caught up with us.
I may be old and cranky, but it seems like people check common sense in their butts when they see wildlife, especially bears and moose.
A Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) can regularly be observed on the mud flats when the tide is low because it is the easiest route of travel for them as they roam in search of mates or food along the beaches of the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Reserve on the west coast of British Columbia about 30 minutes flight northwest of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada.

An adult Black Bear (Ursus americanus) is observed wandering along the shoreline as we headed out to Knight Inlet by boat in search of Grizzly Bears.
We were on a wildlife tour, primarily for Grizzly Bear, with Tide Rip Grizzly Tours out of Telegraph Cove on the northeast tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
It is a boat tour which holds about 10 people and you are out for most of the day. If I remember, it is about 90 minutes travel to Glendale Cove but you never know what you may encounter, in this case a Black Bear.

2 year old, 400 pound male grizzly, Max is the name!
There are about 55,000 wild grizzly bears located throughout North America, 30,000 of which are found in Alaska. Only around 1,500 grizzlies remain in the lower 48 United States. Of these, around 1,000 are found in the Northern Continental Divide in northwestern Montana. About 600 more live in Wyoming, in the Yellowstone-Teton area. There are an estimated 70–100 grizzly bears living in northern and eastern Idaho. Its original range included much of the Great Plains and the southwestern states, but it has been extirpated in most of those areas. Combining Canada and the United States, grizzly bears inhabit approximately half the area of their historical range.
Although the once-abundant California grizzly bear appears prominently on the state flag of California and was the symbol of the Bear Flag Republic before California's admission to the Union in 1850, the subspecies or population is currently extinct. The last known grizzlies in California were killed in the Sierra foothills east of Fresno in the early 1920s.
The killing of the last grizzly bear in Arizona in 1936 at Escudilla Mountain is included in Aldo Leopold's Sand County Almanac.
In September 2007, a hunter produced evidence of one bear in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness ecosystem, by killing a male grizzly bear there. In the North Cascades ecosystem of northern Washington, grizzly bear populations are estimated to be fewer than 20 bears. One sighting of a grizzly bear in 2010 has been recorded. There has been no confirmed sighting of a grizzly in Colorado since 1979.
Other provinces and the United States may use a combination of methods for population estimates. Therefore, it is difficult to say precisely what methods were used to produce total population estimates for Canada and North America, as they were likely developed from a variety of studies. The grizzly bear currently has legal protection in Mexico, European countries, some areas of Canada, and in all of the United States. However, it is expected that repopulating its former range will be a slow process, due to various reasons, including the bear's slow reproductive habits and the effects of reintroducing such a large animal to areas prized for agriculture and livestock. Competition with other predators and predation on cubs are other possible limiting factors for grizzly bear recovery, though grizzly bears also benefit from scavenged carcasses from predators as an easy food source when other food sources decline
Hibernation
Grizzly bears hibernate for 5 to 7 months each year (except where the climate is warm, as the California grizzly did not hibernate). During this time, female grizzly bears give birth to their offspring, who then consume milk from their mother and gain strength for the remainder of the hibernation period. To prepare for hibernation, grizzlies must prepare a den, and consume an immense amount of food as they do not eat during hibernation. Grizzly bears do not defecate or urinate throughout the entire hibernation period. The male grizzly bear's hibernation ends in early to mid-March, while females emerge in April or early May.
In preparation for winter, bears can gain approximately 180 kg (400 lb), during a period of hyperphagia, before going into hibernation. The bear often waits for a substantial snowstorm before it enters its den: such behavior lessens the chances predators will find the den. The dens are typically at elevations above 1,800 m (5,900 ft) on north-facing slopes. There is some debate amongst professionals as to whether grizzly bears technically hibernate: much of this debate revolves around body temperature and the ability of the bears to move around during hibernation on occasion. Grizzly bears can "partially" recycle their body wastes during this period. Although inland or Rocky Mountain grizzlies spend nearly half of their life in dens, coastal grizzlies with better access to food sources spend less time in dens. In some areas where food is very plentiful year round, grizzly bears skip hibernation altogether
Shot this black bear later in the day and had that sunset looking appearance. Looks a bit brownish...Glad it stayed put...
