A couple of years ago, I went to see the Polar Bears in Churchill, Manitoba. It was such an awesome experience that I am pondering going again this year!
I wrote a web page about my travels there and it even has some photos of the bears.
After coming up and close with those bears, I have learned to appreciate what it means to meet up with a cute mammal, but I totally understand that they are fierce and I felt like food. Nothing like feeling like a polar bear snack!
