This DVD provides an exploration of one of nature’s most magnificent animals, the polar bear. In an easy-going, casual documentary style, host Jimmy Wilson travels to Manitoba, Canada, “The Polar Bear Capital of the World.” White Bear features lots of footage of polar bears in their native environment, much of it close-up, and there is a brief look at how manmade pollutants are adversely affecting the bears and native Indian populations in the arctic region.

Polar bear expert Dr. Paul Watts looks at the habitat, feeding and mating habits of the bears. Although the bears’ hunting behavior is also referred to, there is no actual footage shown of the bears hunting their favorite food, the ring seal.

White Bear is only one in a series educational DVDs which teach children about different aspects of the environment. For their educational value and outstanding and family-friendly portrayal of nature, the Parents Television Council is proud to award Jimmy Wilson Films with the PTC Seal of Approval^TM. The PTC recommends the Jimmy Wilson DVD series for all ages.
