A Very Rare White Bear Caught On Camera By Natural Resources Center Professor

Ilpo Kojola, a research professor at the Natural Resources Center, says that the bear is very rare.- It's special. Yes, it caught my eye very suddenly when it came to the area. This is what Veijo Toivoniemi from Haapajoki says, who managed to capture an exceptionally special white bear. Toivoniemi took the pictures in Kuhmo Lentiira, a bear-watching area a few kilometers from the Russian border.

Then a big male bear came into the area, which it startled, and after that it was no longer visible. Toivoniemi spotted a bear a few kilometers from the Russian border.Photo: Veijo Toivoniemi Shooting a white bear was a special experience for Toivoniemi. Yes, it was enchanting. Those rarely come up, probably the only time in my life. Of course, you never know, but I think this will be unique. An unforgettable experience, he says. Toivoniemi has been involved in nature photography for 17 years, and also holds his own column in a local newspaper. However, he is not the kind of expert who can tell with certainty why the bear described is white. "A very exceptionally colored individual"
