During the tremendous fur trading of the 1800s

existence of the ghostly bears was kept secret

to keep them safe & today they are the official

mammal of British Columbia Canada

own subspecies as accepted by the

zoological cataloging community

I did some very careful checking

The Kermode Bear (Ursus Americanus Kermodei)

also known as the "Spirit Bear" in Canada

is a rare subspecies of the American Black Bear

living in the Central and North Coast regions

of British Columbia Canada

The bear was named for Frank Kermode who was

the former director of the Royal B.C. Museum

who researched the subspecies
