Swimming With Judgement


Swimming With Polar Bears of the Day: At the Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat in Cochrane, Ontario, children are invited to swim inside a wading pool attached to a polar bear enclosure, getting as close to the Coca Cola mascot as safety, and five centimeters of shatterproof glass, permit.

“Staring into the eyes of an immense polar bear, while swimming only inches away from him, is to be remembered,” according to the habitat’s spokesman.

Sharing a moment with a polar bear? Priceless.

I am the photographer of this photo. No Photoshop, A 6 inch plexy is dividing the food from the bear.
