The Spirit Bears of British Columbia. The Kermode bear /ˈkɜːrˌmoʊdi/ (Ursus americanus kermodei), also known as the "spirit bear" (particularly in British Columbia), is a rare subspecies of the American black bear living in the Central and North Coast regions of British Columbia, Canada. These are very rare and maybe only 100 of them exist today. Spirit bears are rare black bears with white or creamy fur, brown eyes, dark nose pads, and nearly white claws. As many people may think, they are not polar bears or albinos. Most Spirit Bears live on Princess Royal and Gribbell Islands along the rainforest coast of British Columbia. We have hundreds of images of these amazing animals with just the rarest shown in the Gallery today.
