Polar Bear Brothers

Polar Bear Brothers

WILD & FREE

Polar bear cubs cuddle-up with each other on an ice floe. What a great sight to see!

The sea ice is shrinking at an alarming rate, which has a huge impact for the bears as this is their main hunting ground. More and more bears are being found to have drowned while trying to find the ice, even though they can swim up to sixty miles or so!

I hope the ice does not completely vanish and that they always have somewhere to hut!

    Wow, what an amazing nature study. And the capture is technologically perfect. It is hard to believe anyone could look at this photo and then debate the merits of any measure designed to protect their habitat. What a shame it will be if they vanish from the earth.
