Polar bear brothers rest for a short while on an ice floe. Love it that one is yawning while the other rests his head on his shoulder.

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 hunt!

    What a wonderful shot!!! I feel so bad for these animals. He must be a nice guy to let his brother nap while he is so tired.
