Our last two posts have featured links to some amazing polar bear photos by Steven Kazlowski – well after some back door searching, we’ve found the website of his company Left Eye Productions.
This site has THOUSANDS of photos, many of which are of polar bears. Here ar e some of the highlights of this page for us;
- Books
- Postcards
- Notecards
We’ve lifted Steven’s Bio straight from his website: Steven Kazlowski earned a degree in marine biology from Towson State University and worked briefly in the Florida Keys as a marine biologist before setting out for Alaska to pursue his true passion – wildlife photography.
His photographs have been featured in Audubon, Backpacking, Canadian National Geographic, National Geographic For Kids, National Wildlife, Sierra and TIME magazines, and he has published several books: Alaska’s Bears of the North, Alaska’s Wildlife of the North, and Alaska Wildlife Impressions.
He is the only wildlife photographer to date who has extensively photographed the Alaskan polar bear and its critical Arctic coastal habitat, something he wishes to continue throughout the international Arctic – an area rapidly being affected by climate change.
He is known within the photography community for his skills of observation and his determination to capture an image even in extreme weather conditions. Kazlowski lives and travels frequently from Washington to Alaska, photographing the natural world.

Some very cool polar bear photos, the second one is great – he looks like an ewok in the snow! Other have this young male throwing a stick into the air and generally playing!
The photos are by Steven John Kazlowski and were taken in Fairbanks, Alaska. He reported to the Telegraph in the UK that he ahd tracked this bear for two months and that he loved playing with the stick!
Here is the link to four of the photos and the story;

We were following up a recent science story talking about man-made pollution compromising the polar bears environment (which can be found here http://www.ilovepolarbears.net/405/arctic-human-pollution-also-a-threat-to-polar-bears-future/ ) only to find that the article had been withdrawn by the science journal Environmental International.
There was no further information given as to why it was not going to be published Continue Reading…

Amazing story about a man who dedicates his life to cleaning up other people’s messes! Here’s the first few lines from the story, just to set the scene!
Here’s a question for you. Which country has the world’s most tigers? India? Indonesia? Not even close.
Try America. Yes, America. Now, these tigers aren’t roaming the wilds of the mid west and they’re not even in zoos. No, these are household pets.
In all, there are some 7000 tigers being kept in the backyards and even loungerooms of everyday Americans. Staggering. And it doesn’t stop with tigers.
Animal lovers with a taste for the exotic are also sharing their homes with leopards, lions, wolves – even bears.
It’s all quite legal, but not surprisingly, things don’t always end well for the owners. Nor for these magnificent creatures.
