Together!!!

Lake Clark, Alaska

This series of shots may be my favorite of all my 2008 bear photographs.

That is because of the uniqueness of the situation. Normally, you will not find wild Grizzly Bears and Black Bears together in the same area. Griz are known to kill Black Bears. And Black Bears are normally very fearful of Grizzlies. However, these bears broke the rules & tolerated one another. This was a most unusual wild scene. It was also the Grizzly Bear who peacefully left first.

I'm still in awe of this encounter.
