A White Black Bear?

This picture was taken near Gordon, WI a few years ago.

Not just any mother bear and her cub, but a black bear with a white cub. I don’t know how rare it is for a black bear to have a white cub but at least we can say we’ve seen it no matter how rare it is!  Since there seems to be no sign of a pink nose or eyes, I would say that it is not an albino.  This is not a doctored picture.

    This is probably what is also known as a Kermode bear. It is a genetic variant of regular black bears. They are common in parts of British Columbia and a reserve has been created to protect them.
