The American black bear is characterized by its black coat.But in Gribble Island in Canada, rare white black bears have been sighted.Normally, white animals are vulnerable in the forest because they are more visible to their predators. However, these white black bears are an exception. Not only are they larger than the regular black bears, recent studies have revealed they are even a sort of a dominant presence on the island.Why are the "white" black bears so powerful? This episode takes a look at this fascinating animal.
