Teacher of the Forest
This bear takes me back to Yellowstone National Park. During one of our camping trips we were privileged to have one of these majestic bears stroll past our campsite. Despite his size, he seemed to float silently by, after giving us a very typical apex predator glance.
Bears play an important role in the environment. For example, they keep forests healthy by dispersing seeds and berries through their feces, they help to clean up carcasses, and so much more. Why then would anyone feel the need to hunt these magnificent benefactors for trophy??
