I came across this large male grizzly bear here on the BC coast back in May. He certainly looks in good condition – recently out of his winter den he is getting ready for the mating season as he heads in to his springtime prime. In this shot he is heading away from the boat to make his way along the shoreline, patrolling his territory. After eating a quick snack of grass on a rocky knoll, he surprisingly looked back questioningly, almost as if to ask ‘are you coming too?’
