A trail cam operated by photographer Johanna Turner captured a black bear in Angeles National Forest above Pasadena. The bear appears to be smiling.

In a city where paparazzi snapshots of elusive celebrities draw the attention of millions of adoring fans, an image of a seemingly smiling Los Angeles heavyweight, overlooking the twinkling lights of Pasadena, is about to go viral. Under stars in the mountains overlooking the San Gabriel Valley, wildlife photographer Johanna Turner captured an indelible image of a real-life bear appearing to pose for a photo.

'So this bear now has some added funding to protect his habitat which is great,' she wrote, 'for an area with a lot of recreational human use.' Turner shared tips from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife on how to interact with bears in nature. 'Dogs can startle or scare bears and provoke defensive behaviors,' according to the state agency website, so dogs should be kept on a leash on trails.
