Grizzly at the shore

There is nothing quite like seeing a grizzly in the world. This shot was taken last autumn while the bear was searching below the tide line for food.
The salmon runs last year were critically low all along the bc coastlines with this specific run coming though knight inlet down 70-80%. This results in the bears being tragically thin before hibernation and having to range further a filed for food. At this time of year the bellies of this coastal bears are normally hanging all most to the ground.
This bear was munching barnacles off the rocks in an effort to get some sustenance. We also saw two cubs which had been abandoned by their mother. Knight inlet, british, Canada. The bear is North American brown bear or grizzly bear.images(2).jpg
