Sometimes little feet get tired and need a bit of help from mum - even if those little feet happen to belong to a polar bear. So it's lucky this particular mama bear was willing to be the cub's ride for the day. This adorable pictures is just one of the photos captured by photographer David Jenkins, who spent 10 years capturing the bond between newborn and mother.

Super cute until it grows up and eats you. :-)
Left wing headline would read … Due to Global Warming, Baby Polar Bears Lose Ability to Walk.
Some thing is visible in a few shots and it looks like there some type of tracking device in one of the Moms ear.
Yes/No?
Definitely a tag on the polar bear. From the article the photos were taken a Canadian National Park so makes sense the bears do get tagged and tracked.
It’s just an ear tag. She has been captured and probably weighted and aged and sexed. Maybe she was a problem in town and they had to dart her. The tag lets them know who she is and if she is a repeat offender. It doesn’t track.

Thanks for the sweet pictures early this Friday morning. Pictures of juvenile animals are always a welcome break from our day to day lives.
Foolish woman offers herself as a meal for cute polar bears:

That makes no sense,if it doesn’t track what good is it
Exactly what I said. It identifies this as a bear that has previously been caught and processed for whatever reasons they had. You can visually tell this bear has been worked without knocking it out or trapping it. It doesn’t track because it is tiny, has no battery and no antenna. A big heavy radio collar would be on it if they wanted to track it. Cows, for instance, have ear tags so the rancher knows who they are.
Super cuteness. Now available in French Vanilla and Milk Chocolate!
Let me get closer to take a better photo.
I was about to post a similar photo ... “in the interest of completeness”.
so what do they view it with binocs to see who it is
Yes, binoculars or a spotting scope.
The polar bear was my high school mascot. I’ve always loved them.
Ours was a Trojan, I don’t like them as much.
Trojans ? Slippery little devils.
