Polar Bears
Churchill Manitoba is home to Polar Bears. Only pregnant females 'hibernate' in a den from October to April. The bears wait for the ice to come ashore in the late fall to hunt for seals. When the ice melts in mid-summer, they stay around town. They don't eat anything and can be dangerous for the locals who have come to get used to them.
