This polar bear is ready for its close-up, but don’t get too close! Every fall, polar bears gather in Churchill, Manitoba to await the freeze of the Hudson Bay. They bears need sea ice to hunt seals and finally eat something of substance as they’ve been living off fat reserves all spring and summer. While they wait, they conserve energy by laying low, sleeping, and sitting around the brush.
These still moments are a splendid opportunity to catch glimpses of polar bears in great detail, as explore.org’s Arctic Tundra cams capture all the action. Check out this highlight of a polar bear posing for the camera and take the time to relax with this big fella.
