Talk:Kermode bear

message: Should we suppose that it is something like the Polar Bear - an interesting parallel, though I assume it is much more ancient.  Does anyone know?  And should there be a link?  --GwydionM 18:34, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

message: So, what are their physical characteristics other than being white? Size and such, or are they just like blackbears aside from being white, if so that should be mentioned.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 17:56, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

message: :"It is known to the indigenous population as Moksgm’ol."
In which language/area?  If around Hazelton the answer is Gitxsanimaax, if around Rupert it's Smalgyax, but to me that word looks like Musgamagw, which is Kwak'wala; it could be from another Northern Wakashan language related to Kwak'wala, perhaps Heiltsuk?Skookum1 (talk) 22:34, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: In which language??

message: I'm from the Lillooet Country and cinnamon, blond and near-white bears are fairly common; Iv'e not heard of them in the upper Lillooet River valley, which accesses the coast at Toba Inlet over a pass near Mount Meager.  Again, "genetic variation" is supposed to explain their colouration, but I've never heard them mentioned as being part of the Kermode subspecies, despite the physical proximity.  Any zoologists out there know anything about this?Skookum1 (talk) 22:42, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Cinnamon bears inland

message: The summery at the top of the page states that kerr-MO-dee is the standard latin pronunciation, but the description section says that KER-mode is correct, that kerr-MO-dee is wrong, and that 'Kermode' does not derive from latin. Which one is right? 24.63.250.207 (talk) 17:42, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

message: Hello,
Not an expert, so could be wrong, but should we add the conservation status of the Kermode Bear?
I couldn't seem to find one online, which is probably because it's a subspecies and not a species - could somebody confirm this for me?
Thanks!
