Polar Bears #8 and #9

"We caught a female and yearling cub today. This little guy is the cub. We tattoo their inner gum with green ink to identify them later and paint a number on his back so that we can tell from the air that we've caught that bear before." - Hilary from the Chukchi sea ice

"Mom was about 516 lbs. She was a recapture - we caught her in 2010."
