If you thought you saw a polar bear in B.C., you'd probably be pretty surprised. And rightly so.

However, what you'd be looking at is actually a rare type of grizzly bear with a white fur coat.

The Rimrock Resort Hotel in Banff uploaded a video of one of these creatures to Facebook last week.

Director of operations, Cara Clarkson, spotted the bears with her family on her husband's birthday, according to a Rocky Mountain Outlook report.
