New Photos Added: Coastal Brown Bears

New wildlife photos have been added to my site. These images were taken of Coastal Brown Bears near Wolverine Creek in the Redoubt Bay Critical Habitat Area in Alaska.

Coastal Brown Bears are technically the same species as all other brown bears (Ursus arctos), but grow significantly larger than other brown bears due to their diet. It is not uncommon for a large male coastal brown bear to stand over 10 feet tall and weigh in excess of 1,500 lbs.

The Redoubt Bay Critical Habitat Area is a 268 square mile low lying expanse of wetlands braided with riparian habitat. It is best known as the nesting ground of the Tule white-fronted goose and is located approximately 40 miles southwest of Anchorage on the west side of Cook Inlet.
