There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Survival Skills of Bears

BEARS of the last frontier... I've watched polar bears climbing icebergs, dancing between ice floes, swimming frigid seas, and sprawling out casually during mind-numbingly cold arctic storms. They always look at home in the cold. One one occasion I watched a young male dive repeatedly into the slushy ocean from an icy platform. Time after time he would belly flop right into the sea, often jumping onto a slab of ice, a little like a giant kitten pouncing onto a toy. Seconds later he would haul himself out, dripping gallons of water from his fur, only to repeat the same flop a second or two later. I swear he had a smile on his face the whole time. It seems very apt that polar bears are categorized as pagophilic, or "ice-loving." It is certainly the impression I got from the young male bear that day.
