Thanks to the help of local Innuit trackers, he happened upon a spectacular scene.
Goldstein is well aware of how lucky he was to get these photographs.
According to a2020 article, the Baffin Island polar bear population is stable at around 2,800.
Interestingly, polar bears usually give birth to twins.
This allows a better chance for at least one cub to make it into adulthood.
Given the harsh Arctic environment they grow up in, this evolution is understandable.
Polar bear cubs will normallystay with their motherfor two-and-half to three years.
During that time, she’ll teach them all the survival skills that they will need to thrive.
This includes hunting, swimming, and feeding.
But, as Goldstein’s photos clearly show, there’s still plenty of time for cuddles.
