Voyage to Great Bear Rainforest: Native Culture and Wildlife in the Land of the Spirit Bear, September 23, 2023
A Kermode bear, also known as a spirit or ghost bear, made a brief appearance in the stream to fish. This is a very rare, white-colored genetic variation of a black bear. Perhaps the white color morph persists because the fish have a hard time seeing them, making the bears more successful at snagging a meal. —Lee Moll, Naturalist
