EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Kermode Bear Fishing for Sockeye Salmon on Island Princess Royal, British Columbia, Canada This photograph showcases the elusive and rare Kermode bear, also known as the Spirit Bear, as it skillfully fishes for Sockeye Salmon in the pristine waters of Island Princess Royal in northern British Columbia, Canada. The Kermode bear, a subspecies of the American black bear (Ursus americanus kermodei), is renowned for its striking white fur, which is a result of a unique genetic trait. The Tsimshian people of the region held the Kermode bear in high regard, believing that these rare creatures were inhabited by the spirit of a powerful island princess. The legend adds to the mystique and allure of this magnificent and elusive creature. The photograph captures the Kermode bear in its natural habitat, demonstrating its agility and hunting prowess as it waits patiently for the Sockeye Salmon to swim within reach. The crystal-clear waters of the river reflect the lush greenery of the surrounding forest, creating a serene and picturesque scene.
