    A Squidoo Quest (International Polar Bear Day) popped up and the first person I thought of was you. Your devotion to bears is obvious in everything I have read of yours . . keep 'em coming. Take good care, Rose

    Very fascinating lens. I had no idea that such bears even existed. Instead of stopping that pipeline from going through the rainforest, why not make the penalties for oil spills extreme, with the company having to place enough money into a special account to cover the worst case scenario. The money (rather, just the interest on the fund) would be used for this specific geographic area and for the protection and study of these bears and to help care for them. It would seem that since they are pretty much identical to other black bears, wouldn't it be possible to populate other areas with these same bears, thus expanding the geography they are found in? The money which the disaster fund would earn could be used for this. The only thing I'd worry about is the politicians somehow getting hold of the fund and using it for other things or simply stealing it. As political administrations change, permission to build the pipeline will be given behind closed doors, it's just a matter of time. Better to get the money to protect the bears before it's too late. Just a thought. Thanks for the great lens.

    Wow great lens....Interesting how different varieties of a species can arise....Kinda makes teddy bears a little more realistic(they come in many shades).

    It is fascinating to learn about the Spirit Bear or Kermode Bear. How interesting that they are indigenous to just one area of the world.

    What beautiful creatures! I'd never heard of them before and this lens is so informative with lovely photos and videos! Let's hope these bears don't disappear before more people get to learn about them!

    I had never heard of the Spirit or Ghost Bear. It's beautiful! How sad that the little bear was orphaned though.

    Thanks for all you do to help bears. I'm sure you were heartbroken about the mother bear being killed by a vehicle. It's a sad story and shows why people should interfere as little as possible with wild animals.

    Brian, Thanks for the "rest of the story" as Paul Harvey would say. I included the info in the module above with the photos. Thanks again!
  • Brian Apr 26, 2009 @ 10:29 pm | delete
    The black bear with white cub photo was taken in 2004, but from manitoba not from BC or WI. There is an article in the Internation Bear News, 2004, vol 13 #4, a members newsletter for the International Association for Bear Research and Management (IBA). To summarize, the sow and white cub were first seen in June 2004 feeding on roadside garbage ini land between lake Winnipegosis and Cedar Lake, Manitoba. Photos were published, media hailed a 'rare albino' (though told it was likely not). The area became popular, with people bringing food to attract the bear, and on July 11 the mother was struck and killed by a vehicle. The cub was accepted by Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park Zoo. The Chemawawin Cree Nation named it Maskwa (Cree for bear). Tests were run to determine if the cub had the same double-recessive coloration gene that make Kermode bears white, but I don't know the results of that test.
    You might consider the IBA's Bear Conservation Fund to support bear research?
