White fur on a black bear is often seen only in one part of North America - in British Columbia in Canada. But for one to appear in Michigan? 'It's much much more rare' a DNR official said.
haven't independently confirmed that the large mammal actually has white fur, but based on the images that were sent to them and other area reports, they are fairly certain.
It was spotted in the western Upper Peninsula, where bears are most common in Michigan. It's about the only thing common about the sighting. When white-furred black bears are born in nature, it almost exclusively happens in western Canada where a subspecies of the American black bear lives. Called Kermode bears they reside on a collection of islands in the province. Between 10-20% of the population has white fur. Photo courtesy of trail cam owner, who asked they remain anonymous.
