Smiling' black bear caught on camera in Pasadena goes viral

Wildlife photographer Johanna Turner used a trail camera to capture this cheery shot of a black bear, which is going viral after she posted it on social media.

AS THE glow of Pasadena, California, lights up the valley beneath the San Gabriel mountains, this handsome black bear has been captured by the flash of a trail camera.

Wildlife photographer Johanna Turner connected her camera to a motion sensor to take the shot, which is currently going viral after she posted it on social media. “This shot is a long exposure, so each time an animal comes, I only get one chance at a photo – so everything needs to work perfectly. Which is rare,” she says.
