Grinder and Coola – Grizzlys at Grouse Mountain 2008
Grinder and Coola are the two grizzly bears that live at the Grouse Mountain Refuge for Endangered Wildlife. Grouse Mountain is the peak of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. You can find Grouse Mountain just twenty minutes away from downtown Vancouver on the North Shore.
The grizzlys were eight months old when they arrived at Grouse Mountain in 2001. Both bears had lost their mothers, Coola's mother was hit by a car and Grinder was discovered wondering alone and dehydrated. The whereabouts of his mother are still a mystery. When Grouse Mountain found about the situation of both Grinder and Coola, they immediately wanted to help because they knew there was no other choice for the bears. They had to obtain special permission to take the bears to their facilities, when this happened they happily invited the two bears to their new home.
das Bild 43 146 finde ich sehr beeindruckend. Hattet ihr ein besonderes Objektiv, der Bär sieht aus, als wäre er sehr nah, die einzelnen Fellhaare kommen sehr gut zur Geltung. Fehlt nur noch die Dose mit dem Lachs, nicht Werner?
A real big boy, this one.
Bin wie immer total begeistert und schon sehr neugierig auf die nächsten shootings.
