Nature Smart: Photographing polar bears in Manitoba, the world’s largest land predator
Published: , in Outdoor News
After almost 10 years, I returned to one of my favorite places to film and photograph the world’s largest land predator – an animal so big that the adult males can weigh upwards of 1,500 pounds. That’s right, you read that correctly: I’m talking about the polar bear (Ursus maritimus).
A decade ago, I photographed polar bears in early winter, when snow blanketed the ground. It was cold; several mornings were -32 F. This time, I went in mid-September, hoping to see the tundra in autumn splendor. I got lucky and hit the fall colors perfectly, and the polar bears didn’t disappoint, either.
