Mississippi Lake Migratory Bird Sanctuary, Drummond/North Elmsley, ON, CA
Wondering if anyone could help ID this track. Maybe a small black bear? My hand wasn’t at the same level as the print because of the snow so it is slightly larger than it appears.
1440 Holland, Greater Sudbury, ON P3A 3R6, Canada
Bro was super aggressive, I doubt it got enough to eat before the winter came it looked to be foraging through the snow. Also looked pretty small? May have been a cub.
Baffin, CA-NU, CA
Not an aerial view. We saw this group of polar bears from offshore in a small fjord as they were coming down a nearby mountainside.
