Warning pose

This polar bear's posture, with head down and ears back, gives warning of a possible attack. Hudson Bay, Churchill, Manitoba. The bear's behaviour/posture indicated their mood including relaxed, stressed or aggressive. Although keeping a good distance from polar bears to prevent stress and not interfere with natural behaviour, the bears often would choose to approach us, usually through curiosity, but in this case with aggression.
