Good morning from the Float House in Discovery Harbour Marina
Question: How long do Grizzly Bears live?
From what I have read, they can live 20 -25 years but until recently, I have never seen a Grizzly that old in the wild. Have a look at this fellow who has recently arrived on an Island in our area. I think he may have been chased off the mainland by competing males.
What is in store for him now? If all goes well he will stay away from the populated part of the island and will live out his remaining years in peace but that is unlikely. Old bear or not, if wonders near homes on the island, the residents will feel he is a threat and his retirement days on the island will be cut short. Sad but true.
Update this morning!
I type, one large male Orca heading north at the Quadra Island lighthouse. Gotta go !
Cheers
