Does anyone else feel like this polar bear sliding into the new year? When it comes to survival in the Arctic (and through the holidays), it’s important to find ways to conserve energy. In this case, sliding downhill takes less effort and is an effective strategy for bears to keep from overheating under all that fluff. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours! Our team is already looking forward to a new year of conservation wins, incredible wildlife encounters, and, above all, making our planet healthier and safer for animals like polar bears. We hope you’ll join us in the spirit of the season by giving back to our ocean.
