I’m not aiming for an alphabet series here (although I do have alphabet soup on the brain courtesy of To Dog With Love)… however, the video below was begging me to title my blog post this way. This Thursday, a show called Polar Bear: Spy on the Ice will debut on Animal Planet. Apparently filming polar bears in the wild is not that easy – luckily, a British filmmaker named John Downer spent the last two years using cleverly-disguised hidden cameras to get some footage of these amazing animals. (Check out this 60 Minutes segment for more details.)
This video clip from 60 Minutes is the one that caught my attention (it’s seriously adorable). However, a little searching revealed this gem from BBC One involving more polar bears and spy cams. Holy cuteness, Batman:
Fascinating. (I found some additional info from BBC One that’s also worth a read.) I will definitely be setting the DVR.
That's too funny, and we though we didn't like the flashy beast!
I LOVE polar bears!! I can't wait for this, thanks for posting because I had no idea.
ROFL! ROFL! ROFL! We loved how the little cub was sitting there watching and smiling as his mom destroyed the cameras! How funny!
This is amazing footage!!! That poor spy camera!!! Thanks for sharing.
Your pal, Pip
Aww they are so big and fluffy, I just want to snuggle them!
Gorgeous footage and powerful creatures. Awesome video!

Love puppies too! Enjoy reading your blog and am passing along the Styler Blogger award. Come by and pick it up! Congrats!
Wow! The claws on those bears are huge and solid!! Very awesome close up looks. Hope they didn't try to eat them cameras. My dogs would have tore them to pieces!!
Awwwwww, I want a polar bear!
They must have a whole bunch of cameras out there if they can take pictures of the bear destroying the camera. Looks like they were having one good time.
Tooo cute! Thanks for sharing! The cub looks like our ChowChow!
Did anyone else watch or DVR? I recorded and can't wait to watch!
And if you happen to see this, thank you Chunyo! I couldn't comment on your site because I don't have a WordPress account, but I do appreciate the award! 🙂
