Cutesy Wildlife Photo Sparks Scientific Inquiry

Awww, a little polar bear cub hitching a ride on its mother’s back, how cute! This photograph taken by a tourist on an Arctic voyage, not only proves there’s goodness in the world, but has also generated interest among wildlife researchers. They claim the piggybacking behavior is rarely observed and could prove that cubs are much lazier than previously thought. |BBC|

Polar Bear Shot Out of Its Element
