Species: Grizzly Bear | Location: Knight Inlet, Canada
This female grizzly bear was seen in the summer of 2015. She was without cubs and quite obviously took advantage of that freedom. It was a scorching 25-30 degrees celcius in this Great Bear Rainforest estuary, and what better way for a fur-clad mammal to cool down than go for a soak and stretch!
