Smoky

Grandfather Mountain State Park, North Carolina

 

Smoky, one the resident black bears at Grandfather Mountain’s Wildlife Habitats, greeted us with a curious but friendly stare. Even though I much preferred seeing animals in the wild, a bear encounter might not be ideal. I could not find out whether smoky was a rescued individual but I certainly hoped the large enclosures built on her natural habitat made it more comfortable.
