One of four polar bears stops at the dump in Arviat Nov. 15 to scrounge for something to eat. Local photographer Paul Aningat snapped this one, whose green mark on its back means wildlife biologists in Churchill, Manitoba have, at some point, tranquilized the bear and taken samples from it. Arviat is a popular stop for bears on their autumn migration north, but the animals continue to cause safety issues in the community of 2,300. This year, the World Wildlife Foundation has helped to fund a second polar bear monitor to help keep the bears out of the town at night. (PHOTO BY PAUL ANINGAT)
