Forget Blooming Flowers: Laugh Your Way Into Spring With These Snowy Scenes!
Let the Bear Have Its Rest
This photo captures a polar bear in a moment of rest, slumped over an icy ledge. And whoever took this photo must have been careful not to disturb it. Polar bears have evolved to thrive in extreme cold; their black skin absorbs heat from the sun, and their fur, which appears white but is actually transparent, traps the warmth.
And while there’s no direct evidence that polar bears experience seasonal depression like humans, they do undergo behavioral changes in response to environmental stressors. The peaceful exhaustion on this bear’s face could be attributed to a successful hunt or simply a moment of rest in its challenging habitat.
