Momma Polar Bear's Portrait of Contentment
Prior to our recent trip to Churchill, we had no idea that Polar Bears have a black tongue, or black nipples, for that matter.
Raising a cub well into its second year is an achievement these days.
I feel that this momma bear has an expression of patience and contentment, sitting in the middle of an autumn snow squall, with windy currents coming from many directions simultaneously.
Yet her focus is on her baby, who is suckling and has been doing so for over 20 minutes.
Now, that's focus!
