Grizzly Bear - The Ultimate Back Scratcher in the Great Bear Rainforest!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this incredible snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Jack Chapman, we witness a majestic Grizzly Bear indulging in some serious self-care. With its massive frame towering against the backdrop of the temperate coastal rainforest, this adult bear has found the perfect scratching post - a Pacific Crabapple trunk. As summer bathes British Columbia's Coast Mountains with warmth, our furry friend seizes the opportunity to relieve an itch that's been bothering it for quite some time. With sheer bliss painted across its face, it rubs and scratches its back against the rough bark of the Malus fusca tree. The Inside Passage provides a stunning setting for this extraordinary display of bear behavior. Surrounded by lush greenery and nestled within maritime estuaries, our grizzly showcases both strength and grace as it engages in this age-old ritual. This particular subspecies of Ursus arctos horribilis is known for its omnivorous diet and remarkable adaptability to various habitats. And what better way to demonstrate their resourcefulness than utilizing nature's own back-scratching apparatus? So next time you find yourself yearning for relief from an annoying itch, take inspiration from this magnificent creature! Just remember - if you can't find a Pacific Crabapple trunk nearby, perhaps settle for something less prickly but equally satisfying!
