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.

It is amazing how fast a Polar Bear can run. In this photo, the bear ran by me at a gait, not full speed, and the gait was amazingly fast. I'm thinking, if a polar bear wants a human and the human is out without protection, the polar bear will win 100% of the time.
at least 15 mph. Glad I was in the safety of a vehicle, however, the glass and sheet metal would just slow the bear down.

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.
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.

Bear Butte is in the background. There were periods of intermittent light fog over the mountain during the day.
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

Bear - In Helvagen. That's all I know about this guy! Didn't write the legend name down and I should have. If you know him, please direct him to me!
Update: Found him!

Brown Bear in Katmai National Park with its next meal. This stretch of river was an "all you can eat buffet".
Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all of my Canadian friends! The weather has not been great so far this weekend so not chance to get out and see if we can see Annie again, our friend did see her the other day and she was eating and looked to be doing well so far!
Shot this black bear later in the day and had that sunset looking appearance. Looks a bit brownish...Glad it stayed put...
Georgina on the right tries to convince a larger male that the fishing area is hers. She puts up a good front, gets a bite or two in then, inevitably she would get a back of the paw swat. We did notice during most bear disputes they did not use claws to intentionally injure each other.
This beautiful brown bear, known in these parts as “Blonde Mom” is shown here with one of her two spring cubs! And what a protective mom she is!
Lake Clark National Park & Preserve, Alaska
I'm back from a trip round the island of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard Archipelago so I'll be uploading pictures from there for a while. These Polar Bears were photographed in the pack ice north of Spitsbergen which is where most Arctic seals breed and the natural habitat of Polar Bears. When we arrived one male bear was feeding on what appeared to be a dead Walrus. It had no skin but was huge, much longer than the Polar Bears. Two more bears arrived and muscled in on the food. They growled loudly at each other but there was no real aggression and all three bears enjoyed a feed. Walrus prey is unusual as Polar Bears cannot tackle an adult Walrus so I wondered if they found a dead one. These bears are both males but the third bear was a female. Incidentally this was above 80 ° North, so if you imagine the world as a clock face with the North Pole at midnight, we were less than two minutes to midnight.
The bear just kept loafing my way, until getting about 50 yards from me -- when I started making some noise to scare it away.
Moments before taking this shot I yelled something like, "Hey, you there! Why not go another way, please?" Or maybe I just blubbered, I can't remember...
Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctic horribilis) patrolling the shores and uplands of the K'tzim-a-deen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary in the Khutzeymateen Inlet along the west coast north of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada.
The inlet is about a 30 minute flight by float plane, north of Prince Rupert. The tour of 6 wildlife photographers (including myself) was 5 days long and run by Ocean Light II Adventures. We stayed at the entrance of the reserve in a 72 ft sail boat (Ocean Light II) and accessed the reserve daily in a 19 ft Zodiac and spent most of the day looking for grizzly bear activity.
