To enrich the life of the polar bears the Wild Arctic team has all kinds of toys, snow, ice blocks with food in them, fish in the water, the latest diversion came from some divers who brought in abundant starfish. It is interesting to watch how these huge paws disect the relatively small starfish, which must appeal to them. I shot a few pictures of the 'snacking'.

What great photos of these beautiful bears. They all look so docile and sweet (with the exception of photo #19) you must love spending your days with them. Maybe you could work a deal to take photos at the Orlando SeaWorld...it's only a couple of hours from here!!! - Leigh Ann Horst, Tue, 8 Apr 2008 3:59PM

34 Sorry for the blurry picture, but this was a reflex shot, with no time to select a focusing point. P.S. These barrels are heavy duty to withstand their poundings.
