This sleepy Polar Bear rests his head upon his large paw while trying to get up enough energy before the Hudson Bay in Churchill, Manitoba freezes over. Once the Polar Bear realizes it is safe to venture out on the icy bay, he will explore the area and wait for his first meal of the winter season to get back some of his energy.
