The polar bear (Ursus maritimus), is a carnivorous bear whose native range is in the arctic circle. Polar bears are the largest living land carnivores, and adult males can weigh over 1,500 lbs with females typically at half the size. Polar bears spend much of their lives on ice sheets at sea hunting seals, their primary food source. Polar bear mothers are noted for their affection toward their offspring and their valor in defending them. I sculpted this polar bear mother and her cub based on a stock photo. The cub also helped to support the central mass of the mother bear, and I was pleased with the symbolism of that. My thanks again to the Ceramic Art Studio and Shop.
