From articles on Delish and Bow Valley Network on Facebook a rare white grizzly is in Banff, Canada.
According the article on Delish:
"According to bear biologist Sarah Elmeligi, who spoke with local outlet The Star, the white grizzly bear is a rare animal. A typical grizzly bear is a type of brown bear that is very large, with a coat that generally ranges from light tan to dark brown. They have extra-long claws and a hump near their shoulders to provide extra strength for digging."
It seems the bear has become popular enough that Bow Valley Network took submissions to name it and it was decided to name it "Nakota" after indigenous people in the area and in their language the name means friend or an ally.
