A photographer has managed to snap a group of an extremely rare WHITE bears - of which there are believed to be only 500 left in the world. And no, they are not polar bears. Tom Svensson discovered the elusive Kermode bears in the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia, Canada, but would not disclose the exact location, as he does not want them to be disturb by others. Kermode bears - or “Spirit bears” as they are also know - are a subspecies of the North American Black Bear, with only one-in-ten having white or cream-coloured fur. Conservationist photographer Tom, 48, said that many people do not know that there are white bears in the wild other than polar bears, and that he felt extremely privileged to have to seen a group of Kermodes in person.
