Everybody should be aware that polar bears eat everything when they are hungry.   One photographer definitely knew this while he was on a picture taking expedition in Canada.   Therefore, when a polar bear appeared out of the blue, he thought his huskies and he were about to become a snack for the roley-poley fuzzy.   Instead, they were pleasantly surprised.

This bear had come to play instead of snack.   And the photographer was able to capture the playfulness on film over a period of time that lasted every evening for a week.

After every evening for a week, the bear went off to sleep or hibernate.   And the photographer and his huskies moved on.   Please click on start button on play bar below.

If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.

For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic.

Every Teddy Bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today.
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play.

Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
'Cause that's the way the Teddy Bears have their picnic.

If you go down to the woods today
You'd better not go alone
It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday.

See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout;
They never have any care;

At six o'clock their Mummies and Daddies,
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears.
