WILD WEDNESDAY: Bear siblings with ‘blonde streaks’ caught on trail camera

It's not unusual to spot a bear or two around the Southern Interior, but these ones will catch your eye.

WildSafe B.C. posted a Wild Wednesday video on its Facebook page, which captures a couple of bears — most likely two- to three-year-old siblings — on trail cameras.

What was most intriguing about the bears, the post states, was the blonde streak running down their backs.

Black bears come in a variety of colours and colour combinations, but its the first "streaked" bear the people at WildSafe have seen.
