What do you see when you lay your eyes upon a spirit bear? What emotions do they evoke for you? The bright fur of the spirit bear is striking against the forest’s hues of green, brown, and hints of yellow from the cascading beams of light breaking through the trees. You are immediately drawn into their beauty and grace. A quick turn of the bear’s head in your direction instantly makes your heart stop with anticipation but it’s a welcomed hello from one spirit to another. The bear continues to roam along the stream with ease but not without purpose. With sheer stealth, it lunges into the cool water to grasp onto a salmon in the midst of its annual run. The Kermode bear’s food has arrived! Water drips from its pelt, as it carries its marine-rich catch into the depths of the forest.
