Well, my son really loves wildlife. And everytime he draws a polar bear I want to tell him there probably won't any by the time... he's my age. That's kinda hard to deal with.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My favorite animal is a polar bear. They're going extinct, and I really don't want that to happen.
My dad dedicated his life to getting across the wildlife message, and I love that I can carry on his legacy. I want to make sure his message never dies.
I used to love wildlife as a kid and being outside in the garden and the woods and the field and that stuff.
There's one place, and one place only, to see polar bears in America. You have to travel to the country's northernmost point, the very apex of Alaska's North Slope, to the permafrost shores that stretch out on either side from the Inupiat town of Kaktovik.
I do love nature, but I don't suppose I'd spent more time in zoos as a child than anyone else!
There are always the kids who just love animals. Unfortunately, though, people have become afraid of the outdoors.
Black bears, though, are not fearsome. I encountered one on the road to my house in Vermont, alone at night. I picked up two stones just in case, but I wasn't afraid of him. I felt a hunter's exhilaration and a brotherly feeling.
I have held healthy respects of bears along with assorted crocodiles, snakes and lots of other animals. You know, bears are dangerous, you have to be super careful.
It would probably surprise people to know that I'm interested in wildlife. I read a lot of poetry, too.
I'd rather write about polar bears than people.
