One of the things I enjoy most about Polar Bears is their curiosity at new things. Nanook is no exception.
A shopping bag is always a good way of occupying a Polar Bear at a glass window.
Nanook was cautious, but also aware that the glass was between us.
Examining a bag might reveal a treat.
Nanook was not easily fooled and was more interested in the people around me.
The glass window is now well understood by Nanook and she swims as close as she can to it.
It is still a great thrill for me to get so close to a young Polar Bear. This would be impossible in the wild.
Nanook is still a very young bear, as this shot of her face shows, but she has learned a lot from Lara, and behaves like a two year old.
Not sure whether this was mother or daughter, I think it was Lara come to have a look as well.
Lara or Nanook? Still not sure, but I think it is Lara.
My nose test tells me this is mother Lara, as Nanook has a very strong v sign on her nose.
