I am super excited to bring you this holiday as polar bears are one of my favourite animals! February 27th is " International Polar Bear Day". A couple of little facts about these adorable teddy bears:
Polar bears range throughout the circumpolar north in areas where they can hunt seals at open leads. The five "polar bear nations" in which the bears are found include the Alaska, Canada, Russia, Denmark (Greenland), and Norway.
Polar bears are a potentially threatened species rather than an endangered one. Threats to the bears include pollution, poaching, and industrial disturbances. Hunting could become a threat if populations are not well managed.
You can "adopt" a polar bear (I have done this, it's a wonderful cause) at WWF. WWF also have this awesome website with a Polar Bear Tracker!
Ok, so now for a little DIY for tomorrow's holiday, I am attaching two downloads for a "make-your-own origami polar bear", this is very cool!
Happy Polar Bear Day!
