Ursus americanus
One of a kind sighting. This is a black bear with a white coat. Alaska natives call this a spirit bear.
@MaryOhkwari: Blonde morphs of the black bear have been spotted as far east as Saskatchewan
This is amazing... I was sure I read in last month's National Geographic that the rare white coated black bear could only be seen in Northern BC forests! Can someone please clarify this for me?
Thanks for the wonderful spotting. :)
Wow! You're very lucky indeed to have spotted this, and thanks for sharing it with us. :) A fantastic spotting!
Im sure this spotting happens very rarely, you are lucky
