21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Coastal Grizzly bear swimming.
I had travelled up to the Khutzeymateen Inlet in Northern BC, close to the boarder with Alaska to spend some days photographing the Coastal Grizzlies that live around the Khutzeymateen Inlet. While out one morning we noticed a Grizzly bear wade into the inlet and strike out for the opposite shore.A long swim in choppy and windy conditions,the grizzly seemed to tire mid swim and we started to worry, luckily it rallied and finally managed to reach the other side.
