The world is full of interesting experiences. The Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours are there for everyone who is interested in these beautiful creatures, to be able to observe them in their natural habitat. Their scientific name is Ursus Maritimus and they are meat eaters. They are the world's largest land carnivores and are very cute when young.
The land has shallow soil because of the subsurface soil and the rock formations. One of the few trees that manage to grow there are the Black Spruce which is slow growing and is evergreen. It grows to about fifteen metres and the trunk is about 50 centimetres in diameter when fully grown.
The bark of the tree is greyish brown in colour and is scaly and thin. The leaves have an outward show of needles and can be as long as fifteen millimetres. Each one is hard and on the upper sides has a bluish green colour while below is a paler green. They produce cones which are only about four centimetres long and are circular in shape with a dark purple in the beginning and later turning red brown when matured.
The climate there has long and cold winters while the summers are short and mild to cool. It is described as subarctic or boreal. The winds that come from the North Pole are always felt blowing across the bay which is frozen in winter. With the chill factor the temperatures can reach to minus twenty six. During the fleeting summer months the temperature can reach a high of twenty two degrees Celsius.
The polar bear tourism business started in the 1980s. During the October and November period thousands of these grand creatures wait on the neck of land until the water in the Hudson Bay freezes over so that they can go back to hunting. During the so called summer months there are also tours available where one can see these animals both on land and swimming in the water.
If one has to walk down the street they will notice that many if not all of the vehicles will be left unlocked. This is to ensure that if one of these bears happens to be in town the people will be able to find a place for a quick escape. These tend to be the adolescent ones who hang around close or in town. The local authorities will tranquilise them and release them once the bay has frozen over again.
Each paw has small dermal bumps which help with the traction on the ice and scientists have found that bears prefer to use their right paw for digging. This came about when they found injured bears and patterns suggested that their forelimbs seemed to be injured mainly on the right. The teeth are larger and sharper then the brown bear and there are about forty two in total.
Churchill Polar Bear Tours are taken in tundra vehicles which are made to move over the ice and snow effortlessly. They are designed to protect its passengers from famished and inquisitive bears. The lodges that are on the bears movement routes have protective fences built around for both the bears and the inhabitant's safety.
