Item Description
Bear Description:
The Bear Truth acts as a public service announcement reminding us of the plight of the majestic polar bears and the melting of the polar ice caps in the arctic. While the top half of the bear is painted to resemble a polar bear, the bottom half depicts a cracking and separating iceberg. It appears as if the polar bear himself is comprised of ice and is starting to crumble and break apart in front of us. Help dispense The Bear Truth about climate change and bring this bear home.
