I've shot a lot of black bears. But zero color phase bears. Help a guy out and show me what one looks like.

Here's a MT bear I shot in 2012. I regularly see more color phase bears than "black" black bears.
Here you go Ryan. I threw in a black one too!

Hey Ryan,
Come hunt Colorado. It's actually pretty rare here to find a "black" bear. They are almost all brown, some cinnamon, and a few blonde but mostly brown.

I can write the explanation for geographic distribution of color Phase bears if that is something of interest. I studied this with Dr. Charles Jonkel in Montana.
Thanks "Or. Archer" !
