Polar Bear Migration

"Between 500 and 1,000 polar bears gather near Churchill, Manitoba, Canada each fall. They wait for the Hudson Bay to ice over. Once the bay freezes, these mammals scatter on the ice to hunt seals and whales through the winter. As the ice thaws in the spring, the bears ride the ice floes back to land. They’ll spend the summer looking for whatever food they can find—even plants." (On the Move / For Creative Minds section)
