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

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.
