Mal Keeble, Bears of Bute Inlet (Wildlife and Animal 2019)
Deep in the Canadian wilderness and face-to-face with bears of Bute Inlet was a wonderful experience. This pristine environment in British Columbia is home to approximately 60 brown bears on Homalco First Nations land. The experience included up close photography of a mum and nine month old cub.
