Polar Bear Momma & Her Cub

Capturing tender moments between the momma Polar Bears and her two cubs was a primary goal of our trip to Wat'chee Lodge, just south of Churchill, Manitoba, Canada this past March (2025).

 

Once this momma and her cubs came out of their winter den, and then out of their ice den, we had a few short hours of time to photograph them before momma hurried her babies northward and onto the sheet of ice covering Hudson Bay.

 

Once on the ice, she can hunt Seals and then teach her cubs to hunt and feed upon the Seals of Hudson Bay.

 

We treasure our very short time with these beautiful Bears, witnessing their interaction and the love and care that momma bestowed upon her children.

 

This is one view of Love at -10F Degrees Below Zero, hahaha.

 

What an honor...what a fleeting honor...
