In the Great Bear Rainforest, black bears, grizzlies and spirit bears alike comb the shores for clams, oysters, mussels and barnacles. Some bears break the shells off the rocks and suck out the fleshy creatures inside. Others eat everything, including the shell. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ad581efa9e028f81a7cb9a1/t/5b451073352f53e9173aa8f4/1531252893591/_DSC9480-2.jpg Marine Life This is a genetically distinct coastal wolf with a chum salmon, one of their principle food staples. Many people mistakenly attribute the headless remains of salmon carcasses to bears. But bears lack the finesse and precision of wolves, and do not sever just the head. For a dedicated carnivore like a wolf, eating the most nutritious part of a fish makes the most sense. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ad581efa9e028f81a7cb9a1/t/5b451566758d46a2604fb822/1531254147401/IMG_8549.jpg Marine Life Transparent and majestic hooded nudibranchs are able to swim with small paddle-like flippers.
