Grizzly Bear

I visited the Khutzyemateen Preserve this past May with Brad Hill. It's quite an experience to be on eye level with a mature grizzly as well as being close enough to that bear to hear it rip off the grass as it feeds. It's just about then you start to hope that the Bear Whisperers who acclimated the bears to humans really knew what they were doing.

Here's an example of one of those close encounters. In this photo I was trying to show the mass as well as the detail of the bear and what it was doing. Comments appreciated. Richard
