Polar Bear

Ursus Maritimus

Notes:

He has a pretty sweet scar on his right foreleg. You can see his black skin quite well. Underneath all the fur Polar Bears have black skin. Thank You David Attenborough for that bit of knowledge.

Why the scar? Was he injured and the zoo put him back together again?
