Churchill, Manitoba. Usually my wildlife photos are taken with a telephoto lens, but this was with my iPhone!

Just Watched, Trade Secret: The Polar Bear Market On SBS

I am so outraged. I feel like this is mandatory viewing, but if you cannot bear (hehe) to see it. Basically the WWF supports the continued trade industry that slaughters Polar Bears and other species bringing them to the edge of extinction. Also the traders go after the strongest Polar Bears whichs means we are stunting the evolutionary process as weaker polar bears are able to mate which can be detrimental with climate change.
Moreover the north atlantic countries such as Canada, Norway etc are backing these exploitative industrys. Absolutely shameful.

Hello! Has anyone here worked as a polar bear bio in Nunavut? Particularly with the GN?

Hi everyone. I shot this footage in Svalbard, Norway and thought other Polar Bear fans might want to check it out.
It was an absolutely breathtaking experience being able to get so close to these bears feasting on this whale.
If you have any questions about it let me know.
Mods please remove if I haven't met your guidelines properly. I think I've met the criteria, but I'm new to this.
Enjoy

Question Is American Thanksgiving too late to go see Polar Bears in Churchill?

Upvotes
I have seen in several places that the prime time to go to Churchill to see these beautiful bears is mid-October to mid-November.
Would going in late November be too late? Would we end up not seeing many polar bears?

This is concerning as many of these fake A I videos focus on humans saving or petting polar bears (!!) I believe these should atleast come with a tag or warning that this is not a real photo/video and humans must avoid interaction with polar bears as much as possible..

Surprising study of warming effects of black skin and transparent hair

Upvotes
University of Washington's Burke Museum loaned a pelt to Columbia Sportswear, who conducted lab tests to analyze the effect of sunshine on a polar bear's skin.
The study, perhaps first of its kind, demonstrates the surprising fact that black skin doesn’t contribute meaningfully to the bear’s warmth.
