Black Bear - Waterton Lakes National Park, Canada
-----------------------------------------------------
I came upon this black bear in the mountains of Alberta, Canada. Many people decide to get out of their car and rush towards bears trying to get a shot before it runs off. When I find a bear near a roadway, I find that using your car as a blind is actually a much better route as it allows the bear to continue its movement and effects the bear a lot less. I've managed to get a lot of great shots like this one, which I don't think I would have otherwise have obtained with a more abrasive method.

Very nice Jorel. I think remaining in your vehicle around bears is a great idea ~ Ron

Always amazes me how truly stupid people can be around wildlife. Do you suppose they thought they could pet it? Black bears aren't particularly dangerous (unless you get between her and her cub), but I have an agreement with them. I don't bother them. They don't bother me.

yeah some tourist got out of his car with this cell phone and walked within 20 feet of the bear. I quickly scolded him and he retreated back to his car without further incident. Tolerant bear but man some times I wish they would teach these idiots a lesson!

Great shot ! I, too, think staying in the car is a great idea . Easier and safer for you and your subject. Amazes me that so many forget the meaning of the word " wild " in wildlife.
