thE KErModE BEar Spirit BearThe Kermode bear (Ursus americanus kermodei, pronounced kerr-MO-dee),also known as a "spirit bear" (particularly to the Native tribes of British Columbia), is a subspecies of the North American Black Bear living in the central and north coast of British Columbia, Canada. It is noted for about 1/10 of their population having white or cream-coloured coats.

Spirit bears hold a prominent place in the oral stories of the Canadian First Nations of the area. The kermodei subspecies ranges from Princess Royal Island to Prince Rupert, British Columbia on the coast, and inland toward Hazelton, British Columbia.

The Kermode bear was named after Francis Kermode, former director of the Royal B.C. Museum, who researched the subspecies and a colleague of William Hornaday, the zoologist who described it.
