Canadian Black Bear

Hwy 93 to Jasper

Caught a few shots of this guy eating up on some berries before the long winter "nap".
Not a great shot, but the best I could get, and lucky to see the bear on my next to last day up here.

We were told they eat about 250 lbs of berries per day which has a high calorie content.
