Brown bear

Description:

Brown bear about 3 years old. Very unusual blonde markings around neck and on back.

Notes:

My husband works in Iliamna and this bear walks out of the woods into town, not fazed by the barking dogs. Just wandered back to woods and sat there looking frustrated....

This is an interesting shot. The bear just wanders in and out of town? I'm glad it lives in Alaska because I don't see that happening in Georgia. Some yahoo down here would shoot it just because they could. Does anyone know why it has a grey "neck"?

No, MickGrant. These 2 dogs were in charge. I think their barking and not backing down, just irritated this bear.....
