Grizzly Bear on Tundra.

Photographing a grizzly bear in interior of Alaska requires hours in the field, and extreme patience. The bears feed voraciously, grazing on berries, roots, grasses, etc, and rarely lift their heads for a glance around. It's possible to work close to a grizzly and not get a single decent image just because they don't look up. A good friend of mine described bears feeding as 'vaccuum cleaners', and I can't think of a better description. Luckily, I was able to make this image in the few seconds this bear offered me a shot. Denali NP, Alaska.

(Ursus Arctos)
