Although this polar bear seemed to be casually strolling over the ice without paying us any attention if you look closely he's giving us a tiny sideways glance, making sure it knew where we were at all times! 
Fun polar bear fact, although they look white or yellow in colour, their skin is actually black. This allows them to absorb the heat of the sun in such cold climates. The fur of a polar bear is clear and hollow, it's the reflection and scattering of light into the clear hairs that give the fur a white/yellow appearance!
