Polar Bear during my zoo visit yesterday. He was having so much fun!
Silly polar bear.
Cute video of Qannik last year at Alaska Zoo being given a bath so she would be presentable for the admiring public. The director of Alaska Zoo wants to bath her, she just wants to play! ʕ ´ᴥ`ʔ

As we all know, polar bears are in enough danger, facing climate change on its most vulnerable front. We cannot continue to allow humans to further impede on this species!
TAKE ACTION: Urge the Canadian government and other decision-makers to end polar bear sport hunting and commercial trade in polar bear products, before it’s too late!
“Though experts predict that climate change could cause the extinction of polar bears by the end of the century, governments have failed to protect these vulnerable animals from the added pressure of human greed.
Globally, more than 1,000 polar bears may be killed by humans every year. In Canada, sport hunters pay up to 60,000 CAD to shoot a polar bear.
They target the largest, most reproductively viable bears, and the survivors may then have difficulty finding suitable mates in the vastness of their ice habitat.”

The irresponsible killing of this threatened species must be stopped — now!
In March of 2010, nature photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen traveled to Hudson Bay in northern Manitoba to photograph polar bears and their young emerging from their winter dens. He created a video of these tiny, months-old cubs play and wrestle while their mother keeps a close eye on them from the den.
Probably the cutest polar bear video I have ever seen. Guaranteed to make you smile. Reblog if you smiled ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ

“Polar Bear VERSUS Polar Bear”
A young polar bear tries to outwit and out-compete an older bear for a meal. But it’s not always a good idea to get between a full-grown arctic predator and his dinner.
