Monday is always a day where we try our best to get back into the rhythm of the working week. Today is especially hard for me cos I had to work during the weekend so I had no recovery time.
I took a break from my work this afternoon and was browsing through amazing Nat Geo shots of animals. They always look so graceful and polished when they appear on the covers of Nat Geo. I wonder why??
That's when I came across Chester: the terribly adorable Polar Bear. Now, he/she is not actually named Chester but I'm gonna name him/her Chester cos he/she does look like an adorable 'Chester' to me & this is my post so I can call this polar bear whatever I wish.
Chester looks so peaceful and I wish I could cuddle up with Chester especially on a cold and rainy day like today.
I was intrigued with Chester and decided a little research is needed to understand 'Chester' and other similar ones.
I discovered that 'Chester' is the world's largest land carnivore and also the largest bear, together with the omnivorous Kodiak bear, which is approximately the same size.
The 'Chesters' of the world are natives within the Arctic circle encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. Male 'chesters' weighs around 350–680 kg (770–1,500 lb) while an adult female is about half that size.
They are huge beyond words, maybe wanting to cuddle them is not a good idea after all, I could be crushed to death.
The polar bear is classified as a vulnerable species, with 8 of the 19 polar bear subpopulations in decline. So if we are not careful with global warming; the beautiful, graceful 'Chesters' may become extirpated within 100 years.
