This particular Grizzly bear is very dark in color, which fools a lot of
visitors to Hayden Valley into thinking he is a very large black bear.
He also has a distinctive crooked front tooth that makes a bump on
his upper lip. Snaggle Tooth likes to use the Yellowstone river to
cool off during the warm summer months. He had just arrived on
the south side when I captured this photograph. The water dropping
like diamonds from his dark fur.
