Arctic Glacier Bear by Ghirin

The glacier bear is a rare color phase of the American black bear.

Glacier bears are various shades of blue-gray and are found in southeastern Alaska, northwestern British Columbia and the southwestern Yukon Territory. The undercoat of glacier bears is blue-black and the outer guard hairs are white with silver tips. The blue-gray color serves as camouflage against a backdrop of frozen ice.
