Swimming with polar bears
There's a place in the world where
children can swim among polar bears.
Since July 2004, in the little town of
Cochrane , northern Ontario,
you can visit the Polar Bear Habitat
It's a kind of local zoo where people can
live the once-in-a-lifetime
experience of an outdoor swim with polar
bears.
Of course, the humans are in a different
pool, separated from the bears'
habitat by just a layer of glass.
Can you see the water drops now?
There's a bullet proof, shatterproof glass
that's almost 9 centimeters
thick, because although they're cute,
polar bears are among the world's most
ferocious carnivores.
It took 20 years for the Polar Bear
Conservation and Education Habitat and
Heritage Village to get off the ground.
When it opened in it attracted some 11,000
visitors in the first six months.
And now you're invited to go and swim with
all those bears if you dare.
