The BBC this morning has a great story and a small video about the Spirit Bears or white black bears in Canada.

Apparently the white helps to hide them from salmon better than black fur does. Their niche is such that they don’t have to hide themselves from predators so they turn up in numbers there.

The video is interesting to watch as one bear navigates some slippery rocks to catch himself/herself a salmon. The bear really is hidden within the white spray of water!

If you are interested in buying a photograph of one of these beautiful bears, Ray Rafiti and his re-designed website and partnerships has a number to choose from!
