This Polar Bear Drawing is the sweetest bedroom wall deco. This animal illustration can also add a comforting presence as a nursery wall art or as a living room wall art.
This cute baby polar bear with is mother as been inspired by a photograph taken by Greg Harvey artist.
Here is a story behind the photo:
Every year in November tourists flock to Churchill, Manitoba to see polar bears. Once the Bay freezes over the bears are finally able to venture out on the ice and enjoy a well deserved seal buffet. At this same time, 60 kilometers south of Churchill in Wapusk National Park, female polar bears are giving birth to one to three cubs no bigger than a one-pound stick of butter.
In February and March, these little fluff balls are about the size of a small dog. Up to this point they have been living in a snow den about eight to ten feet below the snow’s surface. When they are ready, mom pokes her head through the top of the den and the babies get to experience the world for the first time.
Photographers like myself wait 100 meters away, hoping to witness this amazing spectacle. Sometimes we wait eight hours a day for days on end staring at a hole in the snow to no avail. On those days, -40 C to -50 C temperatures are very challenging. When we do see the polar bear moms and babies they warm our hearts and we almost don’t notice the cold temperatures. We must be very cautious, however, as -50 C temperatures can burn exposed skin in seconds and can cause frostbite in just a few minutes.
