God's Dogs Up Close and Personal

In case you missed it, I am sharing the segment from last week's 60 Minutes on the spy cams used to film polar bears in the arctic. It is an amazing story both for the technology required to capture these bears up close and personal and also for the images that this technology filmed.

Basically it comes down to something called "spy cams" which are embedded in the natural environment of the bears and which operate automatically. The images are fabulous especially of a twelve day old cub venturing out of the den with his mom for the first time. And what do they do? Come over and pose for the camera!

The best line of the entire piece: Polar bears are God's dogs.

Love that.
