I don't photograph wild animals very often,     1     wild horses are an exception. I first learned about Alberta's wild horses 20 years ago. Ever since, I had wanted to see and photograph them. A friend of mine, who also loves wild horses,     2     (hear) about my wish in March 2017, and I was fortunate enough to be able to accompany him to see the wild horses in the Williams Creek area of Alberta. It was     3     unique experience.

We spent a day there     4     our first visit and have been back to the same area three more times since then. Once we were so lucky to see more than 100 horses there. I managed to capture a great shot of a pony     5     (run) and jumping for the sheer joy of it,     6     I felt so proud of. The pony was having such fun all by     7     (he) while the rest of his herd grazed peacefully.

Having been out with the horses several times now, I hope to visit them again—as often as possible! They're magnificent and     8     (true) nurture my soul. I'm so thankful for the privilege of having the opportunity to spend time with them. These horses are born wild and free, and deserve always     9     (remain) so.     10    (photograph) like me quite value the chance to get close to the wild horses.

Gorgeous Rare White Grizzly Bear Sighted In Canada

With less than 55,000 grizzly bears left in the wild across North America, the sighting of even one is a cause for celebration. Hence you can only imagine     1     delighted Cara Clarkson and her family were when they spotted two young grizzlies —    2     with rarely seen all-white fur— wandering alongside the Trans-Canada Highway near Banff, Canada.

“We knew we were so lucky because white grizzly bears are unheard of,” Cara told St. Albert Today. The Director of Operations at the Rimrock Resort Hotel in Banff, who shared her images and video     3     social media, said the sighting was a real treat given that the family was out celebrating two birthdays — her husband Tyler's on April 26 and her three-year-old son Beau's on April 24.

Mike Gibeau, a carnivore (食肉动物) specialist for Parks Canada, says     4     Clarksons and other motorists who have encountered the white bear — now called Nakoda, which means “friend” in the native language — are truly lucky. For,     5     there are a few variations of white bears to be found, such as the Kermode bears in British Columbia and the polar bears in the Arctic, white grizzly bears are extremely rare.

Though this is the first time that the world     6     (see) the white grizzly, park rangers have known of Nakoda's existence since 2018. Jon Stuart-Smith, a Parks Canada wildlife management specialist says his team first spotted the bear and its sibling traveling with their mother, who they tracked from 2012 to 2017 as part of a Canadian Pacific-Parks Canada research project     7     (analyze) the mortality rates of the region's grizzly bears. The park officials never publicized the unique bear     8     fear that it would be chased by fans eager to catch a glimpse. “They're just young bears trying to figure out how to make a living on the landscape, and haven't had enough time to know they     9     avoid the highway and people. These unusual-looking animals get hunted mercilessly by photographers, and so     10     (little) we talk about them, the better.”
