Class 407 asked me what kind of animals I would see in the Arctic. I am almost positive that at some point I will see polar bears, as Church is the "Polar Bear Capital" of the world. However, I don't believe that they are so cute that I should go up and cuddle with them. I have to bring a whistle with me and we have someone when we go out in the field whose job is JUST TO WATCH for POLAR BEARS. 

QUESTIONS: I wonder how big polar bears get and how much they weigh?

                             How fast do they move?

                             What do they eat?
