I’m favouriting this, as it’s a lovely shot. I do have reservations about polar bears in captivity however. Although the way their natural habitat is melting, perhaps captivity is their only chance of survival
How do you do that? I immediately recognize your pictures, without looking who posted it. they (probably you) have something special. Super cool, his look, his fur. beautiful
@jgpittenger@yorkshirekiwi Thank you for comments! You're right: Zoos are not without controversy. This polar bear will never feel arctic ice under its paws. The compound is relatively large and this female bear gave birth to a cub in the zoo this year, who cares it carefully. Perhaps you could say that this polar bear lives in a golden cage. It can never be a substitute for the natural habitat that needs to be protected.
such strength and power conveyed - I love how the pov you chose reveals that high arched back, the whole of his underbelly and has him looking right down at us - as if through his nose. great work.
