These two polar bears were passing the time waiting for the Hudson Bay to freeze over so they could go hunt for seals. This was nothing more than a playful challenge — who can open his mouth the widest. Or maybe they were just checking each other’s breath?

Or maybe they were kissing?
They like to play also like brothers always have to out for each other
No doubt Aunt Sue. The large males congregate and do whatever to pass the time. Lots of playing.
Excellent!!!
Thanks Sue.
Sean, this is clearly a duet. “Islands in the Stream.” The one on the right is Dolly. This is Nature Photography 100.
This couldn’t be more perfect!
My mouth is bigger than yours
That just about sums it up.
Another wonderful and playful nature moment!
Leave it to the bears ( and you, Sean) to bring us a smile for today! Thanks!
I really love this one too‼️
