Description
In the slant light of late afternoon, the polar bear's fur is not white as snow but a silhouette of buttery tones against bands of pale blue sky, granite sea, and marbled sand. Wet from her swim across the channel, her fur spikes along the curve of her back and ripples as she pads the shoreline. She mouths a scrap of whale skin, flipping it into the air, then sniffs another piece and pushes it over with one swipe of her great paw. Ten feet away, from inside our truck, we watch, silent except for the click of cameras, until she walks out into shallow water, hopping lightly among a drift of gulls that scatter before her.
