A mother polar bear and her two second year old cubs captured as they move towards the camera, in a nice line-up. They are near the shores of Hudson Bay, as they wait for freeze up to go out on the ice to hunt seals, Churchill, MB. #polarbearweek
Hard to believe it has been 3 years since I was on the ground with these guys. Nanuk Lodge, southern Hudson Bay
Sam always reminds me of a little polar bear with his white fur. That's why I call him: my little polar bear.
Happy Caturday !!!
Alkefjellet, Spitsbergen, Svalbard
A young female returning to the sea after exploring the seabird cliffs of Alkefjellet. Our third and by far the best bear sighting of the trip.
I am not sure I like the idea of polar bears under a palm tree.

Thanks for views, faves and comments!
This polar bear lives at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, a zoo dedicated to conservation. The are 3 bears at the zoo and a great viewing area to watch them eat, play and swim.
Here is another pic of the same bear as seen in the previous 2 pictures that I have posted - - this female is now moving from ice flow to ice flow - - at this point she has not gone in for a full dip in the water yet.
L'ours blanc, aussi connu sous le nom d'ours polaire, est un grand mammifère omnivore originaire de l'Arctique. C'est, avec l'ours kodiak et l'éléphant de mer, l'un des plus grands carnivores terrestres et il figure au sommet de sa pyramide alimentaire.
After watching the second episode of "Hunt" last night which is the new BBC wildlife series and it was on the Arctic I just had to put some more Polar Bear images on from my latest trip to the area. Watching these bears so close is just amazing and why I ended up taking loads of images.
What an amazing experience to view and photograph this big bear. While there is snow in this series, it left as we experienced an abnormally warm up...about 50 F (10 C)
This Polar Bear cub is being shown the world for the very first time by her proud mother. Taken on this year's Natures Photo Adventure workshop by my workshop leader and wife, Jennifer. This was the first time Jennifer had witnessed this and she said she was "in total awe"
In November, a polar bear (Ursus maritimus) waiting for freeze up, climbs a mound of snow and ice that has built up on the shore of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Manitoba. I liked the nice shadow his turned head make on his body.

Polar bear in Copenhagen Zoo
Copenhagen Zoo is home to a family of polar bears, including a mother named Noel and her cubs. Their habitat, the Arctic Ring, is a state-of-the-art enclosure designed to mimic their natural environment. It features a large saltwater pool, rocky areas, and open spaces, providing plenty of room for them to swim and explore. Visitors can observe the bears from multiple perspectives, including through an underwater tunnel that offers a unique view of them swimming gracefully. The zoo is also actively involved in conservation efforts and research aimed at protecting polar bears in the wild.
A mother polar bear with a pair of cubs resting near some Canadian Eskimo dogs, with a male polar bear in the distant upper right. Hudson Bay, Churchill, MB. The mother bear is not completely relaxed, not due to the nearness of the dogs, but to the presence of the other bear. I observed that there seemed to be a very tolerant relationship on both sides between the bears and the dogs. I think the bears got a feeling of safeness, when near the dogs, against the predations of large males that can kill cubs and the dogs seemed unfazed at the presence of the bears.

a big healthy male polar bear leaving the kill site, you can still see the bloody snow in the background where he and 4 other male polar bears killed a bearded seal, taken in the pack ice north of Spitsbergen.

I'm back from a trip round the island of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard Archipelago so I'll be uploading pictures from there for a while. These Polar Bears were photographed in the pack ice north of Spitsbergen which is where most Arctic seals breed and the natural habitat of Polar Bears. When we arrived one male bear was feeding on what appeared to be a dead Walrus. It had no skin but was huge, much longer than the Polar Bears. Two more bears arrived and muscled in on the food. They growled loudly at each other but there was no real aggression and all three bears enjoyed a feed. Walrus prey is unusual as Polar Bears cannot tackle an adult Walrus so I wondered if they found a dead one. These bears are both males but the third bear was a female. Incidentally this was above 80 ° North, so if you imagine the world as a clock face with the North Pole at midnight, we were less than two minutes to midnight.
My Granddaughter took me to the Winnipeg zoo where the award-winning Journey to Churchill exhibit is home to polar bears, muskoxen, Arctic fox, wolves and other northern species. It is the most comprehensive northern species exhibit of its kind in the world.
I don't usually take captive animal pictures but couldn't resist after seeing these polar bears roam around in their huge natural environment they created. Hard to believe the picture was taken from the cafeteria having lunch where there are huge viewing windows of the area. Best place for photos of the bears. Winnipeg Manitoba.
One of those disconcerting moments when an animal is looking at you and seeing lunch.
Emoholmane, Hornsund, Svalbard, Norway.
The polar bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle, encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is the largest extant bear species, as well as the largest extant land carnivore. Because of expected habitat loss caused by climate change, the polar bear is classified as an endangered species. For decades, large-scale hunting raised international concern for the future of the species, but populations rebounded after controls and quotas began to take effect.
