I love the different color phases of black bears, awesome picture. Thanks for sharing

@JBSchroeds have you seen the footage of killer whales doing that to seals, porpoises and sea turtles?

Southern Alberta and Montana have pretty cool black bear color variations, even some blond ones even white almost.

Yes, but never from above like that where it's so clear what's going on. The other videos I'd seen were taken from a boat and you just see the critter get launched. I remember one in particular was a group of Orca playing with a porpoise and batting its corpse all over the place.

The seethroughcanoe dude gets some amazing footage.
 

@Zookeeper Gabe I know you have researched wolves in the past, so thought I would show you this.
Not my video, but I witnessed this the other day. An Alexander Archipelago wolf(Sea wolf) and a Black bear on the side of the highway, harassing each other. This wolf has been hanging out in our town recently, and for some reason likes to live in the brush along the highway. Does often give birth in the clearing near roadways around here, but the Wolves are usually pretty wary of people. I'm guessing it a young male, trying to find his own pack. Hopefully he moves along soon, otherwise, he's gonna get hit by a car, or someone will poach him sadly.
 
This is pretty cool as this is in downtown Vancouver.

Killer whale sightings in Vancouver's False Creek thrill onlookers

If you were near False Creek this afternoon you may have been treated to an uncommon sight — killer whales making a rare appearance in Vancouver's waterways.

The whales, identified by the Vancouver Aquarium as transient or Bigg's killer whales, could be spotted near the Cambie Street Bridge and Stamp's Landing....

Glad you fixed it. Cool vid.

i learned recently that certain killer whale species will eat dolphins but others offer protection and will play with them.

Killer whales eat dolphins. So why are these dolphins tempting fate?

it's fascinating how differently orca populations can behave. Some groups just eat seals, others dine exclusively on whales. We are seeing species divergence in action based primarily on dietary preferences.


"It usually looks quite amicable, but occasionally when the dolphins buzz in the faces of the whales, the whales seem annoyed," he said in an email.

lol

Protip for anyone who these videos do not load for, like me...

Hit 'reply' and then 'preview' and you should be able to see these videos. That or hit F12 and then F5 it reloads the screen with the video visible.
 
Rad Eurasian eagle owl, love when they do demonstrations like that.
 
I really like birds. I had a parakeet named blueberry when I was a kid
