Kermodei Bear by SorenHedberg, on Flickr Kermodei Bear by SorenHedberg, on FlickrThe Kermodei bear is a black bear that has white fur due to a recessive gene carried by black bears in this region of Northern BC. They are pretty rare and hard to find, I've been hearing about this guy for a long time but never spotted him until today. More pics on my Flickr if you're interested. Thanks for looking!

Awesome shots. KUDOS. Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.
