Kermode Spirit Bear Hibernating Live Bear Cam

Feb. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- The Kermode Spirit Bear is a rare white bear only found in the Great Bear Rainforest of Beautiful British Columbia, Canada. There's only about four hundred of these elusive Spirit Bears, so actually seeing one in person is rare. Now the world can see this precious wild bear on a live Kermode Spirit Bear cam.

The Kermode Spirit Bear is one of the rarest bears on the planet.  Although this white bear looks like an albino or a short polar bear, he's neither. We don't know why, but one out of every ten black bears is a white bear or Spirit Bear. He's technically known as a “white-phase black bear” or a genetic throw back. Often a white bear will have black cubs and vise versa.

The Spirit Bear was recently honored in the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games, as he is also part of their Miga Mascot.
The Kermode Bear is the official totem animal of British Columbia. The Spirit Bear has long been a strong part of the BC's First Nation's mythology, who call him Moks'gmol.

The Spirit Bear's home, The Great Bear Rainforest, is now a 200 million hectare area, giving the bear protection from hunters.

In the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest, along the scenic Nisga'a Highway, BCSpiritBear is now sharing their unique experience with the elusive Spirit Bear. Stephanie and Harreson Waymen have an unusual relationship with Kermode Bears as they live amongst them. They're in a rare position to witness, photograph, film and study these bears up close and personal, as seen in their live Kermode Spirit Bear cam.

BCSpiritBear invites you to learn more about this special Spirit Bear of BC, through their information, sighting maps, photos, videos, personal stories,live cams and Kermode Snow Bear Contest. Throughout the year they will also have a summer cam to capture White and Black bears feasting on the many wild berries of the season.
