I had to do my research for this post! Indeed, Polar Bears do not usually travel in groups so there wasn't much terminology about what a group of Polar Bears is actually called. But, I did find that a group of bears is called a Sloth. So there it is! And why do I need to know what a group of Polar Bears is called? Well, if you know my son, you know that he is very passionate about his Polar Bears and we have a "Sloth" of them living at our house. Yes, really. Ask Gabriel if he has a favorite, and you will get the answer "all of them" and sadly I do believe that is the truth because when he has a bad dream or trouble sleeping, he and his "sloth" creep into MY side of the bed. It is nothing for me to go and change our sheets and find a small bear that has been missing under the sheets. I can only smile though...because his passion has become an arctic lesson or adventure for all of us and I know that one day I will look back and miss his excitement. For now, we follow The International Polar Bear Organization, zoo cams all over the world, and find interest in Polar Bear documentaries and books galore!
