Mom & babies

Dutiful mothers, female polar bears usually give birth to twin cubs, which stay with her for more than two years until they can hunt and survive on their own.

A baby harp seal rests on the Arctic ice. Its mother can distinguish it from hundreds of others by scent alone. Look at that angelic face. How can you bear to smash its skull with a hammer for its fur???? Stop seal hunting, Canadian government!!!

Lynxes are known for the black tufts of fur on the tips of their ears and their thick fur.

Of the three remaining species of tigers, Siberian tigers are the largest. While there are only 400 to 500 left in the wild, the population is considered stable, and conservation programs are introducing captive-born tigers to the wild.
