[LynneClomina]

i'm just curious to know how many canad's know about the world's somewhat famous rare kermode bear....

The Kermode bear or Spirit bear as the natives call them is a white black bear that lives on the north west coast of British Columbia. It is not an albino. The parent bear has a gene that causes this. But two white black bears can have normal coloured black bears. Confused yet? They only live in a few areas. Some live near Terrace,Prince Rupert and on a Island on the north coast.
If you do a google search you can find more about them. I hope this helped you.
