POLAR BEAR PLAY

WITH SNOW COVERING the ground around them, these two polar bears play fight. Playing in minus six degrees temperatures, the juvenile males stand on their hind legs as they trade blows in their light-hearted battle. These adorable photographs were captured by American photographer Barbara Motter, 55, after she spotted the two bears play fighting in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. ‘This is where the polar bears congregate, waiting for the Hudson Bay to freeze and their winter hunting season to begin,’ says the 55 year old, of Maryland.
