Journey to Churchill
Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Sun, 07/16/17 22:07 It was a cold day in January and the glass on their outside enclosure was partially frosted over and I liked the ghost like feel of this polar bear as it moved through the snow.
Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Sun, 07/16/17 22:07 Taken this past Saturday as one of the polar bears dived in their pool. The slight golden hue of the water at the top created the sense of movement for me.
Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Sun, 07/16/17 22:08 nothing better than a roll in the snow at -25C
Comments by S Roter on Tue, 07/18/17 22:52 Another great series of images of the Polar bears Comments by Bruce Hunter on Wed, 07/19/17 13:19 Again, I'm impressed by the variety of your Polar Bear collection. Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Wed, 07/19/17 13:38 There was an unfortunate incident with Eli one of the younger polar bears who passed away on Saturday. Apparently on Friday it was noticed by the keepers that he was not eating and not socializing with the other bears and that worsened on Saturday and when he was put under anaesthetic he died. There seems to have been a constriction in the throat but the full autopsy will not be available for a couple of weeks.
Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Wed, 07/19/17 20:31 There is a small window at one end of the tunnel through the polar bear's pool which allows for some interesting silhouette shots of the bears... I have the sense of this bear swimming through ice.

Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Fri, 07/21/17 20:23 2 of the polar bears watching all seal tv all the time
Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Tue, 08/01/17 13:17 The autopsy was completed on the polar bear that died and it is a situation of blunt force trauma which resulted either from another bear (bears do wrestle and play pretty rough) or a fall from one of the large rocks in the bear's enclosure.
