Sled dog vs. polar bear. Yes, the dog got the bear to turn around and leave. These dogs are just kept chained up out on the tundra (to toughen them up) and you'd think that the bears would be all like "hey, free food!" and eat them. But that isn't what happens! Apparently, the dogs' owner likes having the bears around because they scare off the wolves, which do kill the dogs. I didn't get a picture of it, but at one point we saw one of the dogs playing with a bear.

Setting down the tranquilized polar bear at the holding facility. Churchill, Manitoba. I'm not a pilot and am not qualified to judge such things, but it looked like some pretty impressive flying to set the bear down as gently as they did. #hqspStreetDoc for HQSP Street & Documentary

One of the more interesting things I saw in Churchill was a tranquilized polar bear being delivered to the local holding facility. The locals do not want the bears in town and so the ones that get too close are captured, held here until the ice forms and then released on the ice. Of course, Churchill was built literally across the bears' natural migratory route along the coast of the Hudson Bay, so the bears do tend to get too close to the town... #hqspStreetDoc for HQSP Street & Documentary
