Polar Bear

Polar Bear

Ursus maritimus
Barrow, Alaska, USA - June 18 2016
If your passion is worldwide wildlife, seeing a Polar Bear must be on your bucket list. This bear was my first and it was self found. The Polar Bears are not so easy to see anymore in Barrow, but at the time of our visit there were at least 2 of them around, maybe more. The local Iñupiaq people hunt Bowhead Whale, and the bears probably remained in the area since there were leftovers around from a recent kill.
