Looking towards an uncertain future, a huge polar male bear triggers a camera trap, taking his own picture at the Leifdefjorden, Spitsbergen, Norway

saw the pic and was about to reply "don't tell me you took that "

Then saw the line underneath aw I like animal pics though!

Taken shortly before he had lunch consisting of an expensive camera

I see he cut himself shaving

Hey, I just read this on wiki:

"Adult male bears occasionally kill and eat polar bear cubs, for reasons that are unclear."

Where's that brain scanner when you need it???

Thats easy, if you look into there are prob 2 reasons, if its a male cub they kill then its to ensure they stay top of the league(so to speak)if its a female cub then its prob cos she either said she would never fancy him in a million years or cos he was hungry

Well if I replace the bear with a yellow lab, then yes I have loads like that!

The shots look great & I have 'amazoned' aready, with the book now on its way. I always have serious photo envy for things like this.

lovely pics!

In case anyone is interested, the book is great, & starts with a brief intro to his childhood in Northern Canada.

Brilliant book, a must have.
