Ursus americanus
Large mammal that can be varying colors from blonde to black. I ended up seeing 14 bears total this evening, and all were black.
At Alligator River NWR. Close to the coast with lots of agricultural fields, forests, and water canals. Got to see a few of the bears swim after they crossed the road, was pretty cool!

Thanks Rob, Satyen, Emily, Tom, and Cody! Emily, I had only seen 2 bears before this, both at night and from very far away. I went to this place specifically for the bears, it was something I really wanted to photograph while in NC. Hopefully you get to see some soon too :)
Great Shots!
Great pics and congrats on getting all those bears!
Wow! Once again I am so jealous! I have never seen a bear in the wild and for you to see 14 in one evening I am just blown away! This is such a beautiful series!
Beautiful series Ashley!
Iconic!
Thanks Maria and Gary :)
Cool that you got to see them, Ashley! This is a well-known place for spotting bears. When I was there in January, I unfortunately didn't see any - nice to see them in your photos!
