Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours Provide You With A Link To Life Itself

The Polar Bear Capital of the World is found up in Canada. That is also where one will find many <A href="http://www.wildlifeadventures.com">Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours</A> available. The town is in northern Canada on the west shore of the Hudson Bay. It is a very famous place as there are many bears that move towards the shored from inland mainly in the autumn.

The land has shallow soil because of the subsurface soil and the rock formations. One of the few trees that manage to grow there are the Black Spruce which is slow growing and is evergreen. It grows to about fifteen metres and the trunk is about 50 centimetres in diameter when fully grown.

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 Tundra tour will last about four hours as well as a three hour boat drive to see the whales. There will be a stop off to see the Prince of Whales Fort as well as the culture and heritage of the town. Every morning one will enjoy a filling breakfast as well as a dinner entree of choice. There is also an option of having a helicopter tour, dog mushing as well as kayaking and snorkelling.

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.

The difference between the polar bear and its closest relative the brown bear is that the former has a more lengthened build and a longer nose and skull. Their ears and tails are smaller and the legs seem to be thicker. Their feet are much larger as they have to walk on ice and use them as paddles while swimming. The claws are also defined as being shorter and have a scooped underside to help with the digging.

Another sight that many go to witness is the Beluga whales also known as the White whale. They do not have a dorsal fin and have a lump at the tip of its head. The male can grow up to eighteen feet in length and weigh about one thousand and six hundred kilograms. It is estimated that there are about one hundred and fifty thousand of these creatures and the majority spend their winters in the Arctic ice cap.

Churchill Polar Bear Tours are taken in tundra vehicles which are made to move over the ice and snow effortlessly. They are designed to protect its passengers from famished and inquisitive bears. The lodges that are on the bears movement routes have protective fences built around for both the bears and the inhabitant's safety.
