Marked Polar Bear

Marked Polar Bear

091110C0562

A Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) looking vicious with its mouth slightly ajar and its eyes closed - the green dot on its back means he is an offender and has done a stint in the Polar Bear Jail in Churchill, Manitoba about 50km south from where he was photographed along the coast of Hudson Bay at the Seal River estuary
