A Curious Animal
This polar bear weeighing approximately 1400 to 1600 lbs is curious about the rover. The dashboard of the rover is about 11 feet above the ground. The bear stood on his hind legs and peered in the window, at one point, leaving his nose print on the front window.
Playfighting 1
These two polar bears weighing approximately 1200 - 1600 lbs are playfighting (a method of practicing how to defend themselves when they become adults). Even thoug it's called playfighting small amounts of blood may be drawn.
Playfighting 2
Playfighting is a teenage sport taken seriously by the polar bear. It will affect the rest of thier lives in procreation, territoty and hunting. It is also a form of great excersice.
Cooling Off 1
Playfightiing is very strenuous and since the poolar bears fur is designed to keep them warm, they generate a large amount of heat internally. Apparantly by negotiation, they decide to cool off together. one laid down and started to eat snow and the other just pitched forward, burying his nose in a snowbank and turning his paws to the sky
Cooling Off 2
By burying his nose in a snowbank and turning his feet to the sky, he presents areas of his body to dissapate the heat generated by playfighting
Interrupted cooling off time.
This raven came to tease the bears.
