For those that live in Canada or anywhere else in the world a true experience that everyone should try and embark upon exists. The adventure in question, is one you will have when embarking upon Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours. It is a way to see these magnificent animals up close and to learn more about them. All of these tours are led by experienced guides.
The male bear can weigh anything from three hundred and fifty to seven hundred kilograms whereas the female of the species is about half that size. Their sister specie is the brown bear but because of the environment they live in, they have had to adapt. Their litter are born on land but spend most of their time in the frigid waters on the lookout for their favourite meal, the seal.
Over the decades these magnificent creatures have been hunted and their numbers have declined. In the last few years there have been strict control over the hunting and slowly the population has increased once more. For many arctic people these bears have and will always remain very important to their way of life.
The climate there has long and cold winters while the summers are short and mild to cool. It is described as subarctic or boreal. The winds that come from the North Pole are always felt blowing across the bay which is frozen in winter. With the chill factor the temperatures can reach to minus twenty six. During the fleeting summer months the temperature can reach a high of twenty two degrees Celsius.
The polar bear tourism business started in the 1980s. During the October and November period thousands of these grand creatures wait on the neck of land until the water in the Hudson Bay freezes over so that they can go back to hunting. During the so called summer months there are also tours available where one can see these animals both on land and swimming in the water.
If one has to walk down the street they will notice that many if not all of the vehicles will be left unlocked. This is to ensure that if one of these bears happens to be in town the people will be able to find a place for a quick escape. These tend to be the adolescent ones who hang around close or in town. The local authorities will tranquilise them and release them once the bay has frozen over again.
All the rooms are the same with two double beds and they are very cosy and warm. The cafe is open to the public and anyone is welcome. They have sirloin steak, caribou pepper steak as well as a speckled trout and Greenland cod. All are Indigenous to the area of Churchill and surrounding areas.
Churchill Polar Bear Tours are situated in a town where there are only a few human settlements around. This is a popular place where many from all over the world come to observe these amazing creatures. The best time to visit is between October and November when the bears move from their summer habitat to their hunting territory.
