Mouth to Mouth
I was fortunate enough to accompany a film crew to Churchill, Canada while they were shooting the new giant screen IMAX film 'To The Arctic 3-D." Early one morning, just as the sun was rising out on the frozen tundra, we witnessed these two polar bears sparring. In this photograph the bears are "mouthing," which is something they often do as they are preparing to fight. At this time of year (late fall), the bears are merely sparring for fun, and to sharpen their skills for the mating season when they play for keeps.
