A polar bear ??

19 April 2016 | Althone Island, BC, Canada
We said our goodbyes to Steve who was taking the more inland route on his way back up to Alaska and we took the coastal route weaving our way in amongst the islands and often narrow passages of the islands bordering Hecate Strait. For the first time since leaving Alaska last year we started seeing Sea Otters again. At one anchorage at St Johns Harbour we found one lone Sea Otter that was so white he looked like a polar bear. He was extremely timid so perhaps he is very old and distrustful of humans. Quite possible as in many places this species was all but wiped out by fur hunters. The bottom photo is of a river otter that climbed up onto a nearby pontoon. They are probably a third the size of the sea otters.
