Species: Polar Bear/Ursus Maritimus | Location: Churchill Wildlife Management Area, Canada
Early one morning while heading out to the tundra we saw this bear walking through the willows just outside of camp. The bears commonly explore new smells and are quite curious about them. This bear must have smelled our presence in the tundra and its curiosity got the best of it. It decided to come in for a closer look meandering out of the willows to come check out things.
