Photographed near Lake Louise just 3–4 weeks after emerging from hibernation, Split-Lip—Banff’s famously recognizable 136—moves through fresh snow with remarkable presence. His size and healthy condition reflect a winter of rest and replenishment, yet there’s more than serenity in his gaze.
Split-Lip is no ordinary bear: he is the rival of “the Boss,” another dominant male in the Banff ecosystem, and every movement carries the tension of their ongoing struggle for supremacy. The snow falling around him adds a quiet drama, a reminder of both the harshness of the season and the resilience required to thrive in this wild landscape.
This image captures the essence of survival and authority—a moment when nature and narrative converge, telling the story of a singular bear navigating life in the shadow of competition.
