I was privileged to visit Kaktovic where the Polar bears are healthy and happy. When I photographed this young bear in this pose, I thought he may be saying " I pray that humans work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to ensure a future for us"

Ha! A Bear and a prayer! Love it Missy.

Wonderful pose and what a great little fat belly. A very appealing image of this youngster - it looks like your trip was rewarding.
