  • Spirit bear with just caught salmon and broad fish tapeworm, Gribbell Island, British Columbia<br /> Toward the end of summer and into fall, bears sometimes shed a type of tapeworm, commonly called the broad fish tapeworm Diphyllobothrium latum. As this photo shows it can sometimes be seen trailing behind them. Grizzly bears can become infected by the tapeworm from eating raw salmon. The physical effect of bears harbouring tapeworm parasites is insignificant to the bear’s health.
