'Dancing' polar bears caught on camera
A photographer on vacation in Churchill, Manitoba, caught two polar bears on film playing in a fashion that made them look as if they were dancing together. The bears, who reared up on hind legs, locked paws and began to waltz, it seemed to Don Johnson, the photographer.
The tour guide told Johnson that the bears were probably sisters, and only playing, according to The Daily Mail. Polar bears migrate to the bay near Churchill every year to wait for the arctic sea ice to freeze over so they can head to their winter hunting grounds.
Polar bears, which are known as one of nature's most fearsome predators, have been getting a lot of press lately with a number of cubs being born in zoos in Europe and Asia, as well as the recent BBC documentary Frozen Planet.
Tourists interested in seeing the bears in their natural habitat can take polar bear tours in Churchill, the self-proclaimed "Polar Bear Capital of the World." The tours will take travelers out into the tundra to observe the bears in a safe and controlled manner.
