Polar Bears | Ice Cold Killers

Footage of Polar Bears and their life on the thin ice. Close up shots of Polar Bears. From strategic hunting to resting playful activities. These animals are some of the most fascinating creatures in the world. Watch as they carefully plan out their attacks and ambushes, what their favorite meals are, and what they do when their fully energized. Together we will dive deep into the incredible world of Polar Bears, and learn everything their is to know about them.
