The Boss Bear of Banff
Photography Prints
For years, this enormous male has been one of the most recognizable bears in Banff National Park. You can spot him by the distinctive chunk missing from his right ear, a feature that has made him instantly recognizable to wildlife photographers and visitors who have been lucky enough to encounter him.
Photographer Steve McLaughlin has been fortunate to photograph The Boss many times over the years, watching him through changing seasons and countless encounters in the Canadian Rockies. From wandering through spring wildflowers to lumbering through deep winter snow, The Boss has revealed a different side of himself each time.
Whether you’ve encountered The Boss yourself, followed his story from afar, or simply love the powerful beauty of grizzly bears, these fine art wildlife photography prints offer a chance to bring a piece of the Canadian Rockies home. Prints are available in lustre paper, canvas, and metal formats. In sizes ranging from 8×12″ all the way up to 40×60″!
