Photos of bears
Just thought I would start a thread for posters to show others any pictures they have taken of bears.
I am not lucky enough to have seen one in the wild so you will have to make do with my piccie of a grizzly at Calgary Zoo - check out those claws

Re: Photos of bears
Great photos
Is it safe to assume that it is rare to sight bears in the wild or is it just that either most people don't have cameras with them when they sight them or, if they do, they have more important things on their mind other thann taking pictures - like perserving themselves
:scared:

It was right by the side of a road to a parking lot of a little eatery/shop place. Eating berries. A young grizzy. I haven't seen on yet, but there are a few threads on here with bear pics, if you do a search!
edit: here's one I posted on: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...highlight=bear

He appears to have some white around his muzzle and my beard is very definitely white, plus I am a tad overweight.
Just ask HWP, Butch or Morwenna and a few other Calgary posters.
