    Hate to break it to you all, but she just woke up after a nap. The reason she’s that groggy-looking is that she was in the process of shedding her winter coat.

    Oh, and I never knew white brown bears existed. That was primarily the reason for hunting down the story.

      Looks like she is a Himalayan black bear which is a different species from the American black bear.

      However there are a few white American black bears but they are typically only found on the western coast of British Columbia and maybe the Alaskan panhandle. Those ones are known as kermode bears or spirit bears and are a unique subspecies on the American black bears.

      Lmao, so it was just a nap for a couple of hours? That’s hilarious. Thanks for hunting this down!
