Kermode Bear | Lightness Series - Edition 3/100 Photograph

The Kermode bear /ˈkɜrˌmoʊd/ (Ursus americanus kermodei), also known as a "spirit bear" (particularly in British Columbia), is a subspecies of the North American Black Bear living in the Central and North Coast regions of British Columbia, Canada.[1] It is noted for about 1⁄10 of their population having white or cream-coloured coats. This colour morph is due to recessive genes common in the population. They are not albinos[1] and not any more related to polar bears or the "blonde" brown bears of Alaska's "ABC Islands" than other members of their species. Sometimes a black mother can have a white cub. Limited to 100 prints, this high quality piece will be professionally printed on 300gsm matt archival paper using only the finest pigment based inks.
