THIS BEAR WAS FEEDING ON AN ELK WHEN A SMALL GROUP OF CYOTES CAME ALONG. BELIEVE IT OR NOT THE CYOTES DIDN’T SEEM TO FEAR THIS GUY AT ALL. THERE WHERE SIX OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS TAKEING SHOTS FROM ABOUT 30 YARDS AWAY. I USED A 600MM LENS TO GET THIS SHOT. I HAVE ANOTHER SHOT OF THE SAME BEAR BEFORE THE CYOTES CAME. / Canon F-1,Fujichrome 50,600mm lens

Brown bear aka Grizzly bear (Ursus horribilis), captive zoo animal, digitally accented Wilderness lost The victims of human beings come in all shapes and sizes, from the largest to the small. Gone are the days of grizzlies roaming the prairies of North America for roots and wolf pack leftovers. Everything associated with the prairies is turned to dust, blown to the corners of the globe. One has to travel far to seek out the last truly wild places, those nooks of nature that only the sun and clouds visit with regularity. Someday they too will be but a destination on someone’s itinerary. The wandering, restless soul keeps wild places in their hearts, and when they venture forth into the wood they feel the ripples of time and days gone by flowing like the unstoppable river throughout the hollow skeleton of what once was a place of mystery and passion. The great bears have been pushed to the limit, needing protection even in their remaining strongholds, where man is still a visitor. Golden aspens and billowing birch trees, where the sky is the only rooftop and every direction provides a window. We seek so much to regain the things we destroy, in nature and in love, so why should we weep at the humbleness and sad truth of a mighty creature napping in a concrete jungle? Because one glimpse into its eyes reveals the genes forged from rivers and floods, mountains and valleys, winters of endless desolation and summers of famine and frivolity with cubs. Wilderness was a catch phrase, now it is but a ghost, and time marches on leaving the ramshackled remnants of a once great species. Mighty bear, the hunter, the spirit, symbol of what was and still should be American Wilderness. He, the gentile beast, should spend lazy days napping and berry picking and sratching in thickets of tender alders, pondering as only a wild bear ponders the cottonwood seeds. And yet this is not the way the story goes, this bear goes by the name of Bruce. “The idea of wilderness needs no defense, it only needs defenders.” / -Edward Abbey /

When a Grizzly takes a bath, you’d better steer clear; this one was in high gear during his morning ablutions. Taken at the Oklahoma City Zoo on March 22, 2009.

10×14 watercolor enhanced colored pencil. Original available. The grizzly bear, sometimes called the silvertip bear, is a powerful brownish-yellow bear that lives in the uplands of western North America. It has traditionally been treated as a subspecies, Ursus arctos horribilis, of the brown bear living in North America. Grizzly bears reach weights of 180–680 kilograms (400–1,500 pounds) and stand 2.44 m (8 ft) tall on its hind legs.; the male is on average 1.8 times as heavy as the female, an example of sexual dimorphism. This dimorphism suggests that size is an important factor in the male’s ability to successfully compete for and attract breeding opportunities. Their coloring ranges widely across geographic areas, from blond to deep brown or black. These differences, once attributed to subspeciation, are now thought to be primarily due to the different environments these bears inhabit, particularly with regard to diet and temperature. Grizzlies can be distinguished from most other brown bear subspecies by their proportionately longer claws and cranial profile which resembles that of the polar bear. The grizzly has a large hump over the shoulders which is a muscle mass used to power the forelimbs in digging. The head is large and round with a concave facial profile. In spite of their massive size, these bears can run at speeds of up to fifty-five kilometers per hour (thirty-five miles per hour). Normally a solitary active animal, in coastal areas the grizzly congregates alongside streams and rivers during the salmon spawn. Every other year females (sows) produce one to four young (most commonly two) which are small and weigh only about 500 grams (one pound). Sows are very protective of their offspring. Legal status / The grizzly bear is listed as threatened in the contiguous United States, and endangered in parts of Canada. In May 2002, the Canadian Species at Risk Act listed the Prairie population (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba range) of grizzly bears as being extirpated in Canada. In Alaska and parts of Canada however, the grizzly is still legally shot for sport by hunters. On January 9, 2006, the US Fish and Wildlife service proposed to remove Yellowstone grizzlies from the list of threatened and protected species. On September 3, 2007, a rare grizzly bear (400 – 500 pounds, 6 – 8 years old) was killed by a hunter (from Tennessee) near Kelly Creek 3 miles from Montana border (while on a guided trip, hunting black bear with bait). In April, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lifted Endangered Species Act protections for grizzlies in Yellowstone National Park. The bear was in the Selway-Bitterroot ecosystem that includes part of north-central Idaho and western Montana. Federal and state wildlife officials investigated the killing. Some biologists have argued that the word horribilis should be removed from the bear’s taxonomic name, as its negative connotations may hinder conservation efforts. This change would not be permitted by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Complete 2007

I was going through some old pics and couldn’t resist another bear shot. This is one of the grizzlies at the Denver Zoo. This big guy is quite the ham, and seems to enjoy posing for photographers (and is much more photogenic than his habitat-mate). He’s snacking on some grass, which is actually part of their diet. In the summer, they can gain a lot of weight from grazing on grasses.

I took this photo of two grizzly bears splashing in a pool at the Oklahoma City Zoo in late March 2009. I called the image “Grinning Grizzlies” because the pair looked like they were smiling at each other like a couple of kids having a good old time on a Sunday afternoon.

This very large male Kodiak bear was estiamted by our guide to be over 1000 pounds (455kg). He is on his way down stream to the tidal flats of Uyak Bay to join the feasting on the early pink salmon run. This bear will increase his weight by a third in the coming weeks as he gorges on fat salmon fresh from the sea. By the time he is ready to hibernate his belly will be swinging low between his legs and he may weigh close to 1400 pounds (636kg). Uyak Bay, Kodiak, Alaska Aug. 2008

Grizzly bears are currently found in only 2 percent of their historic range within the U.S. In the early 1800s, an estimated 100,000 grizzlies lived in the western United States (excluding Alaska), but their numbers declined greatly as settlers moved west. Logging, mining, and road construction further reduced grizzly numbers by destroying their habitat. Today, there are about 1,000 of these bears in Montana, northern Idaho, northeastern Washington, and Wyoming. In Alaska, the grizzly bear population is estimated at 30,000. / / The grizzly bears that live in the Bronx Zoo are part of a unique conservation intervention by the Wildlife Conservation Society. The bears had been encroaching on human habitat—a problem that leads to all sorts of conflicts in places throughout the world where animals and people share their turf. As a result of being nuisance bears,” they faced possible euthanization. Working together with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the zoo was able to provide a refuge for the bears. / / WCS field conservationists based in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem are monitoring energy development projects, predator-prey dynamics, and human-wildlife conflicts across the landscape to protect grizzly bears and other Western wildlife species. WCS Canada operates the Yellowstone-to-Yukon initiative. This field program seeks to repair habitat fragmentation and maintain an interconnected ecoregion that can support the grizzly bear and other wide-ranging animals. (Bronx Zoo) / / On March 22, 2007, The US Federal Government stated that Grizzly bears in and around Yellowstone National Park (Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem) no longer need Endangered Species Act protection. Several environmental organizations including the NRDC have since brought legal suit against the federal government to relist the grizzly bear. / (Wiki)
