Spirit bear and cub

This spirit bear was named Strawberry because she’s a bit of a strawberry blonde.  She showed up out of the blue in 2017, and we have seen her every year since.  In 2019, she had her first cubs, that we are aware of. Both of them were black, but sadly, one of them died. The survivor was named Blackberry.  

She was not seen with another cub until 2024, when she had another black cub, pictured here.  This cub was named Dzawes, which means salal berry in the local Sm’algyax language.
