"What can I say? I've done a lot of bears (all different) The stripe makes it a little more unique. Who isn't intrigued by bears? Mostly solitary animals that can live off the land, most humans would have to respect that. Sometimes I try to get inside the bear and come up with a pose that mimics what they're thinking (playful stalking etc.) Do I have any doubts that humans and bears share a lot of emotions? No!" - Jeff Edwards -
