Coastal Brown Bear

Coastal Brown Bears are very curious about their world, intelligence being one of many strong traits, these bears maintain a presence that commands respect. Entering into a bear's world must come with the knowledge to make decisions that preserve all.

Guard of the Sedge Grasses

Coastal Brown Bears spend many hours of the day feeding on the sedge grass that grows along their coastal habitat. These grasses, high in protein, help build the fat and nutrition that a bear will need to make it through long winters.

Black Bear Scratching Post

Black Bears are very opportunistic; this mother takes advantage of a water post in a Yellowstone campsite. In fall when most people have gone bears forage around with no boundaries. Though cute and funny, tenacious is another word to describe Black Bears and caution should always be used when in their habitat.

Black Bears enjoy the late summer and early fall berry bloom. Who could resist an Indian summer feast, knowing that soon winter will arrive and hibernation will be the only retreat from a cold days and nights.
