Description

FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While at the San Diego Zoo located in San Diego, California on a mild day the two polar bears were being kept in the freezer room to keep them cold due to those their thick fur on their coats. After about 15 minutes of waiting they released the Polar Bears from their freezer room and had outside vegetables such as carrots and lettuce and some seal meat. They headed right over to the food and began to eat right away. Next this particular Polar Bear who stood nine feet tall on his hind legs began to go down to the watering tank but before going in he looked over and saw everyone watching him and just let out a growl as I was positioning myself to take his photo and I got the tail end of his growl here. Next he jumped into the water and began swimming around going back up on land walking around and going back in but always keeping an eye on the spectators the size of his head alone as seen in this photo was very intimidating.
