A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Found the juvenile two days later.
Never mind. Never trust wikipedia! ;)
Wow, so to whomever id'd this is it unusual in Ontario? Wikipedia says its primarily a central US species.
It is great all around my house, in the south end of Barrie, heart of subdivision lands and we have 5 deer raiding our garden. (as well as the snails).
I added some environment details... And in all likelihood my hostas may have been only one of a few things on the menu that day! ;)
As a person who has a full time job and a life beyond my phone, it also takes time to upload and edit my photography. I can and will update and add more photos when I get the chance.
Please read further comments on the bear posting.
I have seen far worse and more blurry photos on here. If you think I stole it come out and say it instead of badgering. You are making me feel very unwelcome as a member, which is sad because I think this is a great resource. I have about twenty pictures of this bear and about 15 more of the wolf, who if he hadn't had mange I'm sure we never would have got close to!
I thought it would be nice to post pictures at a time closer to when I saw the bear and wolf as they are awesome and amazing sightings to share. Publicly questioning your members photographs is Not a responsible or constructive way to ensure the validity of the photographs. I highly recommend in future that you send a pm and simply request additional photos of the same subject, it would be far less accusatory and insulting to your members.
The wolf also had severe case of mange.
