Bear Tracker

Polar Bear's Oh My!


 Polar Bears International is the site for  the conservation group  dedicated to saving polar bears.  There are numerous resources on the site that teachers and students can use to learn about these magnificent creatures.
But what I really want to tell you about is Bear Tracker which is part of the Polar Bears International site. Bear Tracker plots the journey of polar bears in the Hudson Bay and the Beaufort sea north of Alaska.  You can view the travels of a single bear or all.  Bear Tracker also offers you option to "play" the bears journey that has been recorded over time. It's a pretty cool site if you are studying polar bears. 

If you are looking for videos on polar bears or other animals, check out Explore.org, which has a wide array of videos and even live webcams.
