Bears
Bears are perhaps one of the most photographed groups of large mammals, with high-profile species like the Polar Bear, Grizzly and Giant Panda (yes it’s a bear) hogging most of the limelight.
We’ve become incredibly familiar with iconic images of Polar Bears on pristine snow and ice, especially sows with adorable, super cute cubs. But have you ever thought what Polar Bears do, when the ice melts? Where do they go and what (if anything) do they feed on?
Some of Nick’s images reveal a little-known side to the world’s largest land-based carnivore. On the shores of Hudson Bay, Polar Bears gather on the tundra, amongst autumnal willows and herbs, browsing on berry bushes, and waiting for the winter ice to return.
