“There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be...” - John Lennon
Black bears are found primarily in and among the forested areas of the lower bay, including Bartlett Cove (where this picture was taken). Bears thrive in a variety of habitats, and their strategy for survival is to constantly explore their surroundings for new food sources. You can even find them on the islands in the bay. Bears are excellent swimmers and will swim out to an island.
