A magical glimpse of a Spirit Bear cub and its sibling in the Great Bear Rainforest on Canada's Pacific Northwest coast.

Unique to the Pacific Northwest coast of British Columbia, a small percentage of the Kermode Bear, a subspecies of the North American black bear, are born with a recessive gene that produces a white or yellowish fur colour (they are not albinos).  The white bears are revered by local First Nations groups that have many names for the special bears, including the well known “Spirit Bear” moniker.
