comments,

• Have we come across a polar bear on vacation?""There do seem to be a lot of holiday snaps
• Imagine spotting one of these scrumping apples in the back garden.""It\s unlikely - unless you live in which Canadian province?
• You can travel to British Columbia in the hope of catching a glimpse of this elusive creature.""Or you can watch a video on the web
• About one in 10 of the American black bears in this forest will be born with pale fur.""But 100% of the cubs are cute
