The Ultimate Land Predator - a photo on Flickriver

            Huge male Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) prowls the beach, keeping an eye on us. Thankfully we were on a boat a safe distance away. Humans are on the menu for these bears, though, so his direct gaze took our breath away for a moment. Kaktovik, Alaska, USA.
