Have you heard of the live polar bear cam? My girls and I are obsessed. I read about this on the BBC website and we spent the entire evening last night watching a few polar bears play around with each other — in real time via webstream.
A web camera observing polar bears was set up on the edge of the Hudson Bay, close to the town of Churchhill, in a spot where polar bears are waiting for the ice to form on the Hudson Bay so that they can travel further North. The Polar Bear Cam delivers a live feed and is being watched in schools all over Canada and by anyone who wants to watch.
My mind can’t quite get round the fact that, while I am drinking my cup of tea in Paris… half a dozen polar bears in the tundra of the far North of Canada are hanging out and playing with each other, and I am watching it live!

Cool! (quite literally as well ;-))
But when does it start? I keep seeing films that are not live it seems? xxx
It is on between 9 am and 5 pm CST time, so I take it that means something like Central Standard Canada time.
You could also watch wild boars at http://www.looduskalender.ee/en/node/11616
My son is 2.5 and his preschool class has been watching the bears for a little while now and they love it. We live in Ottawa, Canada.
It seems that the polar bears have left land now so it’s all over until next year again 🙁
