There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Picture #13 from top appears to be a "spirit bear", a form of black bear. Nice pics never-the-less.

It does look like an albino grizzly to me, since the shoulder hump cannot be mistaken.

I noticed the shoulder hump also, but could possibly simply the camera angle. You could be right, but the claws appear short and the ears appear more prominent as those of a black bear. I'm not really sure.

Wild at Heart Images-Wildlife and Nature Photography.:
The Old Man and the Sea......


There was a surprise visitor to Yellowstone Lake this morning as Scarface made he way along the shore of Mary Bay. Having only caught distant glimpses of Scarface throughout the year, I was overjoyed to finally lay eyes on him. 

When photos began to surface of Scarface looking extremely frail after being pepper sprayed this summer, I didn't hold out much hope that the old bear would survive that encounter. A short time later, I heard reports that Scarface had been seen and was looking much improved. I continually searched for him, driving back and forth across Dunraven Pass, but I never saw him until today.

At 25 years old, Scarface is showing his age, and although he looks better than he did a few months ago, he's still much thinner than he usually is this time of year. I don't how much longer Scarface will be with us, but I was humbled to be in the presence of this magnificent old warrior one more time.

@brotherbear Is it yours? Because I'm already a fan of it. I struggle to find information and pics about bears, for me to read and also to post here. But so far, I love each of the accounts and stories.

Yes, and thank you. I wanted to create something "non-yuku" and with more data and less opinion than my previous attempts. Please feel free to participate.

John E. Marriott Wildlife and Nature Photography:
The ever-illustrious 'Frank the Tank' with a world-class pout on after his girlfriend got away from him in the Khutzeymateen (a fully protected sanctuary for grizzlies) this spring. I can't wait to get back there next year to see how Frank is doing.

A favourite of mine of the gigantic and gorgeous beast of a bear we called 'Frank the Tank' on my spring grizzly bear photo tour in the Khutzeymateen in British Columbia.

I'm editing shots today from the Khutzeymateen and came across this shot of Brutus, the King of the Khutzeymateen for almost 15 years, in his final year (it's assumed that he died of old age).

Another look at a brand new image from my September grizzly bear tour in the Chilcotin. I love the colours in this one, what do you think?

Ok, finally a glimpse (albeit a brief one) at my first images from my Chilcotin grizzly bear photo tour two weeks ago. This shot of a yearling cub tossing around a salmon (and eggs) was literally the first shot I took on the trip!

Majingilane, those are some wonderful pictures. I am rather envious and impressed that you get a chance to view these bears in the wild and that you are such a highly skilled photographer.

I wish I could, @brotherbear . These aren't my pics, I linked the facebook page of the photographer at the top of the post.
But don't worry, I share your envy. These are wonderful pics and I wish at least one time I can see this.

The bear canine teeth appear to be deeply rooted strong teeth. Not likely easily broken.

True, especially with the brown bear as the polar bear's fangs are big cat-ized which evolved to become longer and sharper, a perfect attribute as a pure predatory animal.

The brown bear fangs are really suitable for brawling and struggling.

Yellowstone Visitor

Scarface
As Yellowstone National Park’s grizzly bear No. 211 nears the end of his long life, scientists say it could be time to remove federal protections for the bears.
No. 211 weighed 597 pounds when he was captured in 2001, the highest weight researchers recorded.
In subsequent captures, he has weighed less. Now near the end of what’s generally considered a wild grizzly bear’s life span, he weighed 338 pounds at his last capture on Aug. 31 near Mount Washburn.
