HUSDON BAY, CANADA: A polar bear climbs out the water. POLAR BEARS are becoming marine creatures as proved by these extraordinary pictures. Lack of ice to walk on does not mean these clever creatures cannot get from A to B, they are increasingly learning to swim long distances in their quest for food in one of the world’s most harsh environments.

HUSDON BAY, CANADA: A polar bear climbs out the water. POLAR BEARS are becoming marine creatures as proved by these extraordinary pictures. Lack of ice to walk on does not mean these clever creatures cannot get from A to B, they are increasingly learning to swim long distances in their quest for food in one of the world’s most harsh environments. The pictures from Hudson Bay, Canada show hungry polar bears living as much underwater as on land, swimming so close to the camera we get a view of what many seals must see for the very last time – the mighty jaws of these fearsome predators. Other candid shots show the creatures stretching lazily on land and even prancing like the Fox’s Glacier Mint bear.
