Species: Grizzly Bear | Location: British Columbia , Canada
By Earl Hirtz
We spotted the back end of this Grizzly bear as we floated down the river in an inflatable boat in the Khutzeymateen sanctuary in northern British Columbia. She looks so comfortable laying on a bed of moss, and the lichen hanging down from the trees adds to the mystical nature of the scene.
