Polar bear tracks.
Polar bear tracks. These tracks are from the big male that got tranquilized and choppered to the holding facility. There was a total Apocalypse Now moment while we were photographing these - animal control came out in a helicopter and flushed the bear by buzzing the chopper about ten feet from the ground. About fifty feet away from us and just on the other side of some trees. (I am mildly embarrassed to admit that I did not get a decent shot of the helicopter during this...) #BTPAnimalPRO – BTP Animal Pro . owned by Nancy Dempsey , curated by Jack Stepanyan #hqspanimals for HQSP Animals

Sled dog vs.
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.
