Image Description
A male polar bear (Ursus maritimus) runs toward the photographer with only one thing on his mind—food! It is amazing to see these huge bears accelerate to top speed, approximately 18mph. You may be an artist, a poet, a great scientist, a fine all-around human being, but to a polar bear, you are meat. Do not try to run away from a polar bear. They can outrun a you—easily. Seeing an animal fleeing from them arouses their instincts to chase.
