The Spirit Bear

The Spirit Bear is also called the Kermode Bear, which is a subspecies of the Black Bear and lives in the coastal regions of British Columbia in Canada. Kermode Bears can be black or white, it's the white ones who are the so-called Spirit Bears. The Kermode Bear was given its name after a Canadian naturalist, Francis Kermode, which has now entered the vernacular as meaning 'black bear'. According to the Kitasoo legend, Raven, The Creator of the world, made a pact with the bears making every tenth bear white, to remind people of the ice age. This reminder of harsh times, when the world was decimated by ice, should be a reminder to us all of what could lie ahead lest we cure our ways and tidy up our planet.

The Iberian Lynx

The Iberian Lynx is so called because it lives on the Iberian Peninsula, and is also known as the Spanish Lynx. It's the most endangered feline in the world today with a population of just 1,000 left on the planet. It was less than 100 at the beginning of he century, so things are looking up! They have a tawny gold coat and a beard which makes them look very cute indeed! Iberian Lynx's grow to about three feet or a metre in height and live on rabbits. They live amongst the trees!
