On the frigid barrier islands of the Beaufort Sea, a Polar Bear sow digs a pit in the gravel for warmth and becomes a living rug for her lone cub, who curls contentedly against her fur. Both sleep through the day in perfect stillness, conserving the energy that survival in the Arctic demands.

On the frigid barrier islands of the Beaufort Sea this sow not only dug a pit in the gravel to lay in for warmth but she became a warm and furry rug for her lone cub to hug.
