Polar Bear: I come in peace

Stuart Brown describes Norbert Rosing's striking images of a wild polar bear coming upon tethered sled dogs in the wilds of Canada 's Hudson Bay:

The photographer was sure that he was going to see the end of his dogs when the polar bear wandered in, but

The Polar Bear returned every night that week to play with the dogs.

Except the Coke people think that polar bears and penguins live in the same part of the world....

I was stationed on the DEW Line in '69. I traveled the entire length from Alaska to Greenland and saw several Polar Bears. They were cute, cuddly and these pictures show the playful side of these creatures. The live on fish and seals and would see sled dogs as companions.

Cute huh?

That’s completely out of character for that bear. Was the photographer holding his gun in one hand and the camera in the other?

I frankly surprised they didn’t see sled dogs as snacks.

Wow! I’m glad it did not harm the dogs! Luckily it was not hungry. Probably just ate fifty baby seals. Burp!
