Dancing with my Valentine

Two polar bears up on their hind legs with their paws on each other's shoulders, posted for Valentine's day. Re-edited from an older photo taken out on foot at Seal River, Manitoba. This type of behaviour is called sparring and is actually play fighting, which plays a part in establishing the strongest bears, practicing for hunting and developing a hierarchy.

    I love the title of this image Terry! It does look as though they are dancing, and the eye-contact between the two is fabulous. Great shot for today. Happy Valentine's Day!
