Picture Shows: Behind the scenes. Cameraman Bertie Gregory films black bears feeding on the coast of British Colombia, Canada. Bears are undisturbed by objects in the water so Bertie stands in waders without moving for hours on end to capture the bear’s unique crab-eating technique.

Picture Shows: A mother black bear stands tall to keep watch as her cub feeds amongst the rocks beneath her feet on the coast of British Colombia, Canada. Steady rain makes it hard to see and smell potential threats, such as male black bears that could kill her cub.

Picture Shows: Behind the scenes. Dawn on a winter’s morning in the southern swamps of Florida. Cameraman Howard Bourne checks his camera to line up a shot. By gliding slowly on a boat the team were able to capture smooth tracking footage through the eery, steaming landscape. Beneath them alligators and manatees make their way to hot-springs to escape the chilly waters.

Picture Shows: A male roadrunner perches on a stump to get a better view of his territory in the Sonora desert of Arizona. Roadrunners hunt primarily on foot, chasing down prey while running at over 20 miles per hour.

Picture Shows: Screen grab. The spectacular coast of British Columbia, Canada and its many islands are covered in the world’s largest temperate rainforest.

Picture Shows: Screen grab. A sandstone tower known as the ‘totem pole’ rises over 115 metres above the deserts of Arizona, USA. Eroded by heat and wind, the pillars are all that remain of a plateau once roamed by dinosaurs.

Picture Shows: Screen grab. An adult manatee travels the waterways of Florida in search of warmer waters. Every winter hundreds of manatees gather in hot-springs to avoid the chill.

Picture Shows: Screen grab. A female polar bear leads her two cubs through a patch of colourful fire-weed. During summer, with no sea-ice to hunt on, polar bears in this area are restricted to the shores of Hudson Bay, Canada.

Picture Shows: Screen grab. In a creek in Tennessee a male river chub fish collects up to 7,000 stones to build a nest. If a female approves of his construction she will lay eggs amongst the stones

Picture Shows: A male black bear patrols a stretch of coastline on Vancouver island, Canada. Larger and darker than their relatives on the mainland, black bears here have become their own sub-species, specialising in foraging for seafood during low-tide.
