They can also be viewed in sanctuaries at Grouse Mountain, Vancouver, and Kicking Horse Resort near Golden, B.C. Black bears, smaller than grizzlies although still formidable, are found throughout Canada and it's not unusual to spot them while driving in remote areas or canoeing. Their fur can be black, brown and occasionally even white, such as with the ghostly kermode or spirit bear found along the central and northern B.C. coast. Although black bears, like grizzlies, are shy and generally avoid humans, if you encounter one, keep a safe distance away. Polar bears are white like the snow of their northern habitat. Beware, they are not shy. In Churchill, Manitoba, the "Polar Bear Capital of the World," you can take a tour from mid-October to early November aboard a large-wheeled tundra vehicle that lets you safely get close to these powerful, attractive animals. Nothing is more evocative of Canadian wilderness than the spine- tingling howl of a wolf. The largest members of the dog family, wolves hunt in packs of six to ten throughout remote areas.
