Wikipedia: The Kermode bear, sometimes called the spirit bear (Ursus americanus kermodei), is a subspecies of the American black bear and lives in the Central and North Coast regions of British Columbia, Canada. It is the official provincial mammal of British Columbia and symbol of Terrace, British Columbia. While most Kermode bears are black, between 100 and 500 fully white individuals exist. The white variant is known as spirit bear, and is most common on three islands in British Columbia (Gribbell, Princess Royal, and Roderick), where they make up 10-20% of the Kermode population.Spirit bears hold a prominent place in the oral traditions of the indigenous peoples of the area. They have also been featured in a National Geographic documentary.

Такие интересные мишки! Ушки торчат острыми кончиками и глаза с ресницами. Все же бурый российский красивее своей округлостью форм.

Another fantastic video and once again you make me want to visit this area soon. Did you film this using your DSLR? I have been thinking about trying video lately and I would appreciate any information you can share on your setup. Regardless, thank you for posting this wonderful video. You really did a great job. Loved seeing that pine marten too (I think it was a pine marten).

Wonderful video of the Kermode bears! I think we ran into your group at two different locations. Did you record some of the videos on Oct 1 and 2 by any chance? The open cut on one of the black bears looks exactly the same and many of the clips are what we saw from a slightly different angle. Thank you for posting!

[@Tinekemike]

Thanks! Yes we did made the video also on okt. 1 and 2. You came with Ocean Light? Many regards, Mike (and Tineke)

@@Tinekemike Hi Mike and Tineke, We were with Natural Habitat Adventures (only a few of us in the group were serious photographers). We were on the sail boat 'Island Solitude'.

Read de description: The Spirit bear (Ursus americanus kermodei) is one of the rarest bears in the world. It is a black bear that has a white/creamy fur, which is produced by a recessive gene. The bear lives principally in the central and north coast of British Columbia, Canada.
