During my last outing in the field in East Yellowstone this past week, I used a thermal camera to observe and document some bears during the dusk and night time hours. My thermal imaging device is good for 600 yards, and surprisingly, I was able to view bears near the roadway. Please note that the temperature scale is not reflective of inner body heat; the temp is reflective of surface temperature and is deceivingly lower for mammals that are fur bearing.
Enjoy!
