[National Geographic Wallpaper] Polar Bear (북극곰)


Hudson Bay, Canada
1996
Flip Nicklin

"Young males play-fight on the Hudson Bay shore in a harmless autumn prelude to spring battles for mates that can end in shattered limbs. Lethargic all summer, males may benefit from such exercise and also learn to assess other bears' strength. When shore ice forms in mid-November, most bears move out to winter on the bay."

(Text from "Polar Bears, Stalkers of the High Arctic," January 1998, National Geographic magazine)
