A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Ursus maritimus
Polar Bear cub
Arctic coastal areas and sea ice
This cub was a twin that was abandoned by the mother near the Prudhoe Bay oil facilities. Oil field biologists and US Fish and Wildlife monitored the bear and finally moved it to Anchorage. The cub was cared for until it was strong enough to move to a zoo in the lower 48.
