This photograph was taken an altitude of FOUR hundred and eighty six metres, at 16:19pm on Wednesday May 11th 2016 past Liard River Hot springs at Mile 475 on the Alaska Highway 97, heading towards Smith River Fort Halkett Protected area in British Columbia, Canada.
This is a large adult American Black Bear (Ursus Americanus), a medium sized bear native to North America, and found in abundance in the Yukon territory and Alaska. Black bears have a small tail, up to nine inches long foot length and males can weigh up to 250kgs.
On my trip I encountered several bears and, although it is strongly recommended that you do not leave your vehicle to photograph these beautiful wild animals, needless to say, with care and caution I did just that to capture my photographs.
My safety rules were simple. I always left a healthy distance between myself and the Bears, always had a large SUV between the bear and myself, never upset, endangered or threatened the wildlife and read their body language very carefully.

Photographed the American Mink on A12 Prout's Island on Sesekinika Lake in Sesekinika in the Township Grenfell in Northeastern Ontario Canada
American mink are long and sleek with thick, bushy tails one-third to one-half of their body length. Males are bigger than females, reaching a total length of up to 60cm (2 ft) and can weigh up to 2kg (4.5 lbs). Typical of members of the weasel family, they have short legs, small round ears, and a pointed face. Mink are valued for their thick, remarkably soft fur that varies from rich browns to almost black in colour. They have a thick undercoat for insulation and long, shiny, oily guard hairs that keep them waterproof. They often have patches of white fur on their chin and throat.

Feral Cat (Felis catus) studying up on an Irish Hare (Lepus timidus hibernicus) on the dunes next to Barleycove Beach, Schull, County Cork, Ireland
There were about 50 rabbits on the dunes near where the Kate Campbell tour bus dropped us off, and I couldn't help but think that there must not be many hawks or eagles in Ireland (considering how many rabbits were around).
But, then after I spotted this guy, I realized the bunnies weren't getting a totally free ride.
