Many of the legends of the polar north, as told by the Inuit elders, speak of the spirits of the great white bear and man as being interchangeable.  For in the telling, when the polar bears enter their dens they shed their hides and become men, and only upon returning to the frigid outdoors do they don their furs once again.

“The polar bear may be just the canary in the coal mine... If we can save the polar bears, we will ultimately save ourselves.”

Theodore Roosevelt IV
