A Grizzly Bear in the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary off the Coast of British Columbia ventured down the rocks and to the waters edge to quench her thirst.

What I like about this image is that if you look closely you can see that the entire time she is drinking she is keeping her eyes on us (you can even see the whites of her eyes). There is never a restful moment, even for the largest land based predator in Canada, they need to be constantly paying attention, even when stopping to have a drink.
