Storm Water Buffet

A lone river otter appears in a neighbourhood storm water pond, feeding on the creatures under the ice. The otter is pretty successful in its hunt because every time it dives, it comes back up with a new snack. The otter didn't seem bothered with me on the shore as it kept coming up through the same hole in the ice to eat, fairly close to where I was set up.

Fantastic beasts

The black bears on Vancouver Island are a distinct isolated sub species (Ursus Americanus) and are larger. Their coat is blacker and healthier due to their diet of salmon and berries. They are a classic case of island gigantism with males weighing in at 600lbs plus!! They have broader larger skulls due to their distinct genetic makeup. The bears have been isolated since the last ice age when they colonized here.
