There are three different species of bear in the United States — the black, brown and polar bear. The term grizzly bear refers to the subspecies of the brown bear that ranges from Alaska down into Wyoming, also known as the North American brown bear. I photographed this one playing in the snow in Yellowstone. At least it looked like he was playing in the snow as he sat back, grabbed his feet and rocked back and forth. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 550mm with 1.4 TC) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/5000th of a second.
Thanks Alan. Yeah, for about a year the emails for my posts haven’t been delivered to most people. All good here. Hope you’re doing well and still shooting those night skies.
Oh my gosh! Holding onto his feet and rocking in the snow looks like so much fun! Catching behavior in wildlife photography takes patience and sometimes sheer luck. Love a nature shot that makes you smile.

Sorry, my comment is going to be unbearably lame today.
This photo was a great way to start my day, with a laugh!
Thanks Karen. Nothing like bear antics.
SO GLAD TO SEE THESE COMING IN AGAIN!! Hope all is well!

No doubt. Thanks Rachel.
Oh, to be a bear in the snow!… Awwww…
