#polarbearday

Today on #polarbearday 🐾 I wanted to share my illustration of Leaf and his new again. It's a page from my first ever picture book LEAF with @flyingeyebooks that speaks about how important it is that we listen to each other and help each other. I hope today supports the plight of these beautiful, vulnerable giants. 🤍 . . . . . . . . #internationalpolarbearday #polarbear #ursusmaritimus #listenandlearn #compassion #friendship #togetherwearestronger #stangerdanger (at Polar Bear) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLzlXC5HbHN/?igshid=14l0ubdtqztg9

For International Polar Bear Day we present this bear embroidered in silk, made in Japan around 1900. One of many fascinating illustrations in Ice Bear: The Cultural History of an Arctic Icon (2017). #polarbear #polarbearday #bear #arctic #books #library #bookstagram #librariesofinstagram (at Harvard Yard) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9E9pWDHEkl/?igshid=dtknlg1icbv6

Polar Bears (Ursus maritimus) are uniquely camouflaged to their Arctic environment with a dual layer of fur. Their fur is translucent, allowing the bright sunlight to pass through and be absorbed by its black skin to generate heat. SciArt from Vergleichende Naturbeschreibung der Säugethiere (1809) by Georg August Goldfuss.

Happy #polarbearday! I wanted to say thank you to my favorite enrichment testing polar bear, Hudson. Hudson is a special bear who happily tests our new enrichment devices. But what makes him special is when he is able to break and shred our things he never eats any of the unsafe small bits. This is not true with our other bears so he is our first step in testing new enrichment to make sure items are safe for all his friends. Scroll to see some of his “help”! #producttesting #internationalpolarbearday #zooenrichment #lovemycoworkers . . . . . . . #enrichment #enrichmentworkshop #mydayjob #learningmoments #notafailure #zoolife #polarbear #happyhealthylife #zoo #nature #conservation #artforanimals #artistoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BuZObxdFMFl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13m16hvdaqv5t
