Alaskan Brown Bear

[Kyle Jones]

Here is (what appears to my untrained eye to be) a young adult Alaskan brown bear from my trip to Brooks Falls last year. It just wouldn't smile for me...

Now that’s a heck of a bear. I guess these are also called grizzlies or is there a distinction? Great image in any event

Grizzlies are considered a sub species of brown bear. Brown bears are differentiated by having access to coastal food sources like salmon. Grizzlies are inland.

Doesn't look particularly friendly. A very majestic creature to be certain. Nice capture even without a smile.

That is one unhappy looking bear! I would not want to get in his way. Great capture Kyle.

Interesting pose Kyle and a nice image.
