While I certainly like the cleanness that a snowy background provides, it doesn’t always tell the whole story. This image gives an idea of a bears life, or a day. What does a bear eat? Short answer, everything. You can see in this photo that the ground around the bear looks like it has been plowed with a rototiller. But that’s the bear’s doing as it digs up the ground searching for anything edible. Anything edible can be bugs, roots, grasses, larvae or anything else that provides calories. This is the same bear I’ve been photographing for the last month or so now.
