Photo of the Day #268: Polar bear

Polar bear

A polar bear (Ursus maritimus) playing catch with itself, photographed at the Bronx zoo in the spring of 2008.

[As a side note, I'll probably head back to the Bronx zoo tomorrow to get some new photographs. The forecast is calling for thunderstorms but I'll probably go anyway; I just can't say no to fossas.]
