Black and Grizzly Bears

As we were driving Friday from Muncho Lake to Watson Lake, we had read that we would see much wildlife.  We had seen the bison the day before, so we knew there would be a lot of them. The rain kept many of them hidden in the trees, but we were surprised by the numbers of lone bulls that were walking the roads.

Further down the road, Don saw a black bear on the side of the road.  For some reason, he thought perhaps it was going to run in front of him, so he started to brake.  Good thing he did. That little guy (who was not so little, by the way) ran right in front of us.  Don managed to stop in time, though the little guy "bearly" made it!  Ha, ha.

Then, we saw a larger bear on the side of the road.  We immediately knew it was a grizzly.  It was a small one, probably just a year old, since it did not have the hump, but it was obvious by his bad hair day, that a grizzly he was.

We still need to see a moose, but we know we will, maybe even tomorrow.  Wolves will be more elusive, for sure, but maybe we will see one of those as well.  Until then, we are loving seeing the bears.
