A sea otter feasting on a red rock crab off northern Vancouver Island, BC. We (@exposedwildlife.bsky.social) did a short documentary on sea otters back in 2020: A Wildlife Conservation SUCCESS: The Miraculous Return of Canada’s Sea Otters www.exposedwildlifeconservancy.org/videos/ex-ep...

Whoooo you looking at? And yes, I am well aware how horribly cheesy that is for a Monday morning. Sorry, not sorry.

Famed grizzly bear #222 in Jasper with her cubs. Note the porcupine quills in all of their noses!

Before I got so concentrated on apex predators like bears and wolves and cougars, I photographed almost every mammal in Canada (I'm only missing belugas, walrus, fishers and bobcats, all of which I've seen, but never gotten shots of). This is a playful pod of Pacific white-sided dolphins off Van Isl

Loewen lied, then lied again and again and again about the cougar hunt and the Canmore cougar incident: thenarwhal.ca/alberta-coug...

Meet Zeus, another one of the Khutzeymateen's big boys. He's not quite as big or as mean-looking as Reacher, but Zeus put in a hard few weeks worth of work this spring courting three different females, including taking over with Big Mum after Reacher moved on.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Reacher, the single largest grizzly bear I have ever seen. He's standing in almost 2 foot tall sedge 'grass'!! Named after the 6'5" 250 lb tv character Jack Reacher.

The latest wildlife conservation news, including our call to Minister Loewen to stop being a populist preacher and get back to using science in his wildlife management decisions. Super easy letter to sign in that latest post, too.

A little lynx action! This gorgeous kitten (almost full-grown) posed for me for a few minutes.

A little Jasper action recently. Nice to see a bull moose still holding onto his antlers this late!

I post a lot of conservation-related stuff, so here's a handsome pic of the legendary Frank the Tank in the Khutzeymateen.

Fragile male egos and a love for killing things. Are trophy hunters psychos or conservationists concerned about wildlife management?

Can't wait to get out to the Khutzeymateen again this year. Here's the infamous Log Bear working his 'magic' on Heidi.

A gorgeous Alberta grizzly bear in the dandelions today. Enjoy!

Let’s talk about cougar science for a moment in light of what's been happening in Canmore and with the mother cougar that got killed by hound hunters, orphaning two young spotted kittens. (if you missed it, you can catch up on my IG or FB)... 1/4

Well, #SuperbOwl Sunday was anything but, and this is kind of how I'm feeling heading into this week...

Snowy owl photographed during a rainy west coast day with a very long lens (and heavily cropped).
