A Kermode bear, or Spirit Bear, is a black bear with a recessive gene that causes the whitish colour. Kermode bears are not albino at all. Kermode bears are protected from hunting in British Columbia. They are found on the central coast of BC and in the northwest portion of the province from Hazelton to the coast. This bear just came out fro hibernation as seen by the spots of dirt clumped to his coat.
