| | MOKSGM'OL - THE SPIRIT BEAR |
 | | Expressing your concern for these amazing bears, the bountiful salmon streams, the diverse forest ecosystems, and the rich marine environment is one of the best ways to help ensure the survival of these phenomenal white bears and all the other animals that share this rich habitat. |
 | | Infrequent glimpses have resulted in the terms "ghost bear" and "spirit bear." Thought to be the effect of a genetic shift in an isolated population of black bears during the last ice age, this unique double-recessive gene combination has survived over thousands of years. |
 | | For the white bears, eagles, orcas, porpoise, seals, wolves, and countless other animals which depend on the salmon as a major food source at critical seasons of the year, the salmon are priceless. |
