柯莫德熊

A Kermode bear from the Great Bear Rainforest, British Columbia, Canada

柯莫德熊(Kermode Bear,学名:Ursus americanus kermodei)是美洲黑熊的一个亚种,柯莫德熊分布在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚的中部沿海一带,以一身如鬼魂般的白色毛皮著称,因此又俗称「灵熊」(Spirit Bear)或「鬼熊」(Ghost Bear),在当地的印第安神话中有重要的地位。而「柯莫德熊」之名则取自一位研究此物种的加拿大人法兰西斯·柯莫德(Francis Kermode),由他的同僚动物学家William Hornaday命名。

柯莫德熊的白色毛皮不是因为白化症,在血缘上也接近美洲黑熊而非北极熊。其白色毛皮是由于该物种基因池所特有的隐性基因所造成。

Kermode bear 柯莫德熊

A Kermode bear from the Great Bear Rainforest, British Columbia, Canada

The Kermode bear /ˈkɜːrˌmdi/ (Ursus americanus kermodei), also known as the "spirit bear" (particularly in British Columbia), is a subspecies of the American black bear living in the Central and North Coast regions of British Columbia, Canada. It is the official provincial mammal of British Columbia. It is noted for about 10 of their population having white or cream-coloured coats like polar bears. This colour is due to a double recessive gene unique in the subspecies. They are not albinos and not any more related to polar bears or the "blonde" brown bears of Alaska's "ABC Islands" than other members of their species. Sometimes, a black mother can have a white cub.
