Penguins in Alaska
Further along the dock lies a foundered ship. A resourceful penguin enthusiast has seized this opportunity to build ‘the northernmost penguin zoo’ on the stranded vessel. The penguins have taken over the entire ship, hopping from deck to deck and swimming in the waterlogged hull.

Polar bears
From the steel pontoon you can see out across the bay to the polar bears’ world behind the old ship. Harsh tundra separates their territory from the harbour. They swim in the chilly water or doze on mossy rocks. Polar bear mothers raise their cubs in cosy dens close by.

That is really funny! Alot of people seem to think that all animals that live in cold weather/places live in Alaska(or other places like that).

A bit off-topic, but, I love Polar Bears!

I get that sometimes too. I don't think it's all that cold here! Maybe it's because it's Canada

Aren't polar bears very mean? I read that somewhere. My husband always says how cute and cuddly they look. But the size of those paws!!!

They aren't the cute cuddly creatures on the Coke commercials that's for sure! I've always been told that they are the only bear who will intentionally hunt a human, although I also believe that's fairly rare. In parts of Nunavut they get polar bear warnings--kids aren't allowed to walk to school as a bear has been spotted in the village!

I heard that, too. I just love to admire them from far away
