Frequently called "Lords of the Arctic”, these spectacular animals
are huge. Male polar bears can grow to more than 600 kg (1,320 lbs) and
stand 3.05 metres (10 feet) tall. But don’t let their massive size fool
you – these white bears can move with surprising speed and agility.
With a highly acute sense of smell, they are also skilled hunters
that can pick up a scent from over 30 kilometers away, and can detect
the presence of seals under three feet of snow and ice. Polar bears have
no natural enemies and consequently no fear.
We always recommend finding a knowledgeable guide or bear monitor for your outdoor adventures in Churchill!
