Polar Bears mom and cub standing

It’s very interesting to watch the yearling polar bear imitate the mother. It’s almost as if he’s saying “What do you see, mom?”

Polar Bears tussling

These bears tussled for about 15 minutes, eventually one stared down the other and backed him away through the underbrush. They do this tussling in preparation for their mating season, a few months from then.

Polar Bear sitting by the water’s edge

This polar bear was conserving his energy, and sitting waiting for the ice to form so that he could go back out to hunt seals. This is a typical pose used by polar bears when waiting beside a seal breathing hole.
