Keeping current re Polar Bears near and far...

For Polar Bear Week 🐻❄, get a first hand look at what’s happening in northern Manitoba, during polar bear season, in Wapusk National Park!

From October to November, polar bear activity increases at Cape Churchill, as they gather along the Hudson Bay, waiting for the sea ice to form… and you can watch it all in REAL TIME! 👀

So, this Polar Bear Week, be sure to check out what the polar bears are up to on our polar bear cam in Cape Churchill! 📷:

The Hudson Bay polar bears are back on land awaiting the return of the sea ice, and like many polar bears around the Arctic, they have to live off their body’s fat reserves during the summer, before fall freeze-up. Our scientists often get the question, "do polar bears have the ability to conserve energy through 'walking hibernation' during summer and early fall fasting periods?" Our staff scientist Dr. Thea Bechshoft (Polar Bear Questions) weighs in: https://polarbearsinternational.org/news-media/articles/polar-bears-energy-conservation-walking-hibernation/

Gotcha 👀

Snowy owls (Bubo Scandiacus) have twice as many vertebrae in their neck as humans. This allows them to spin their necks 270 degrees in either direction!

Meet the animals inhabiting our fragile frozen worlds. This is life on thin ice. ❄️
