After a cold and uneventful night last night – managed to sleep in this morning, hooray! Actually woke up, had lunch then snuggled back in bed with Ezra 
It’s still cold today and our heater is looking worse for wear. Felt a bit dizzy and disorientated earlier, think it may be the first signs of the flu – boo hoo. Why is it I always get the flu during my holidays???
Ezra and I watched Open Season again today and was thinking about bears, polar bears in particular. That’s probably because in the back of mind was “Lost”. Anyway, just had a quick look and found some cool facts about polar bears…
- Even though a polar bears fur looks white, it’s actually colourless and made with hollow tubes. The reason the bear looks white is because the rough inner surface of the tubes make light scatter and reflect at many different angles which gives the white appearance;
- If you spray an antiseptic spray on a polar bear, its fur will turn purple;
- Only pregnant polar bears hibernate;
- Apolar bears liver has so much Vitamin A that if a human ate it it could be fatal;
- They’re awesome swimmers! They’ve been known to swm more than 60 miles without resting;
- They can eat as much as 10% of their body weight in less than one hour (hmmm….sounds familiar)
- The only predator known it polar bears are stinky humans;
- Churchill, Manitoba in Canada is known as the “Polar Bear Capital of the World”. Cool huh?
Awwwwww….cute!
- Well – since I mentioned Lost earlier – remember this?
