This polar bear family might look familiar - they’re the same trio that wandered into Churchill and spent some time in the Polar Bear Holding Facility a couple of months ago! They stopped by Dymond Lake Ecolodge at the end of October, and now they’ve made their way to Seal River Heritage Lodge. They’re still looking healthy and beautiful as ever. And remember: a stay in “polar bear jail” doesn’t mean they’re bad bears - it’s simply a safe way to remind them that town isn’t where they should be.

Polar Bears. A sweet moment as the cub starts nursing, but like most little ones, he gets a bit too eager. When it’s too much, mom lets him know. Polar bear cubs typically nurse for about two years, sometimes longer, and moments like this show just how strong that bond is. | Ken Anderson Photography
