"Wildlife filmmaker Tristan Bayer is ready for his closeup while making the wildlife adventure documentary Earthling. Luckily they say that white bears can't jump! The bear huffed and puffed and finally won the staring contest by defeating Tristan with his foul bear breath." See the bigger version here.

Anonymous said...: Polar Bears are never 'stranded' on an iceberg. They are excellent swimmers, they hunt in the water, and are known to swim tens of kilometers while hunting.; ___
Anonymous said...: So sad. Most pictures taken in captivity. And "tired" bear is just bored to death while sitting in concrette pit behinde bars. Damn it!; ___
Cyd Watts said...: Actually, during certain seasons, the polar bears can be effectively "stranded" on ice bergs, because the distance between ice floes can be hundreds of miles. They are strong swimmers, but even they have their limits.; ___
