An adorable snoozing Henry the polar bear

Polar bears, like humans, can sleep for 7 to 8 hours a day. In the summer, to conserve energy, they may sleep even more Henry chose a sweet spot by some trees to make his daybed, a temporary spot to sleep. Only pregnant female polar bears construct and use dens for long periods, all other polar bears just pick a spot (they may dig out a spot in the snow) and that s where they snooze Learn more about the Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat, their bears, the work they do and how you can support them at They currently have their watermelon fundraiser running, where each 20 donation enters you into a contest to win a beautiful art print.
