🐻 Why are some brown bears in #Alaska drastically different in size...despite being the SAME species?

That question takes #students straight into the heart of #ecology, #adaptation, and #foodwebs. At #SchoolyardFilms, we head into the wild to capture real bear behavior and habitats so students can🧵

Since we're all talking about tool use by animals, here's a picture from 2012 of a brown bear using a rock to exfoliate.

It's the new year, so I'm thinking about which of our beautiful Brooks River sows have newborn cubs in their dens right now. For brown bears, fatness and pregnancy are connected, and the fattest ladies were 901 and her mom 284 Electra. I wonder if they have little babies with them right now. #katmai
284 Electra standing in a shallow river. 901 looking absurdly fat, perched in the river, looking over her shoulder.

There were better photo ops on that trip, though.

A photo of two large brown grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) wrestling playfully in water on a rainy, overcast day, one grasping the other from behind and mouthing its ear. The water looks like swirly patterns of brown and olive green and it's up to the bears' shoulders. A photo of Steller's sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) amassed on a large rock in the sea on an overcast day. They are large reddish-brown sea lions, in a mixed group of a few giant bulls and many smaller females. Behind them is a larger rocky island covered with greenery and gulls, more water, and a land mass forrested with pine trees. A photo of two bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), an adult with a bright white head and dark brown body on the left and a juvenile with mixed brown and white plumage on the right, perched together on a weathered man-made structure in the rain, looking very wet, with green conifers in the background behind them. A close-up photo of a grizzly bear's (Ursus arctos horribilis) face in profile, facing left, its mouth wide open displaying large yellow teeth and a dark pink tongue. It has wet reddish-brown fur and light rain is visible falling in the air around it. Trees and greenery are visible in the background behind it.

Two large and well-fed Alaskan Coastal Brown Bears stand side by side in Brooks river. The bears' left sides are facing the camera. The bear in the background is looking down into the water for Salmon. The bear in the foreground has its head up and is looking at something in the distance to the left of the image's edge. Part of Brooks Falls is visible in the background.

A very cozy Major Arcana reveal today! This is the Hermit from the upcoming Whimsy Woods Tarot I am creating w/ @deborahblakeauthor.bsky.social, to be published by Llewellyn Worldwide in 2027. Looks like a perfect snowy evening to me! ❄📚

Every card is created with ink, watercolor, + acryla gouache.

Sweetest boy 812. He hasn't been seen since 2021 but he was a young adult, and it's very possible he followed some sow in estrus to another river with less competition than crowded Brooks. He's 11 now (assuming he's still alive), so I hope he's coming into his own at another river somewhere. #katmai

Two evenly-matched males spent the afternoon lazily sparring while waiting for the bay to freeze. #BearSeason2025 #Mammals 🌿
Two male polar bears lie on the snowy ground facing each other and lazily mouth at each other's head. The bears are up on all fours now with one draping himself over the back of the other who chomps on the loose fur around his opponent's neck. Both bears are standing on hind legs, sussing each other out before sparring for real. Both bears are standing on their hind legs getting ready to take a swipe at each other.

Tundra Bear

Earlier this year I drove the Dempster Highway up to Tuktoyaktuk on the coast of the Arctic Ocean. I encountered this beautiful grizzly on the autumn tundra, just north of the Arctic circle. Easily one of my favourite pics from the trip.

An incredible moment on the Coastal Road this afternoon. Many people got to witness this bear roaming the rocks. However, it was getting too close to town and it was important we back off and let it be. Polar bear alert would eventually have to encourage it to move on.
A polar bear walks down off a roundish gray piece of granite into a golden mossy area in the pale light of early evening. The polar bear starts to walk right towards the photographer who is inside of a bus. It is surrounded by gray rounded granite and brownish moss. The polar bear stands on brown moss among rounded boulders of granite and looks off to the left of the image. It is very close to the photographer who is safely inside a vehicle. A polar bear walks down a gravel road lined by Brown bare Willows on either side. In the distance, you can see a large ridge of rounded gray granite. In front of the bear is a black pick up truck who has stopped on the road. Even further down the road there’s another pick up truck belonging to the polar bear alert.

It's polar bear season in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada and I'm a guide. My polar bear photos always engender a lot of questions, so I thought I'd take a moment to answer some of the most common ones so you can better understand these amazing animals and our relationship with them in Churchill. 🐻‍❄️ 1/
A group of 19 people standing in front of a large, white tundra buggy after a fun day out looking for polar bears. The buggy is marked as number 9 and stands 9 feet tall at the bottom of the 11 windows along the side. A woman in a green parka and teal coloured toque smiles as a grey (Canada) jay lands on her head. She has a large camera strapped to her and is standing in the snowy woods. A large polar bear stares ahead at the photographer as it comes of a rise on a rocky seashore.
