As you can see from the pictures, the students learned about polar bears hunting seals. In the wild polar bears migrate over the pack ice, searching for seal breathing holes, and waiting for hours for a chance to kill a seal.
In captivity, polar bears lack the freedom to move and travel as they would if they were hunting. They also lack the stimulation and excitment of hunting for their prey.
Yupi faces the additional challenge of being in captivity in a tropical climate. Hopefully the postcards and messages make a difference for Yupi. Learn more about Yupi the polar bear at: http://www.saveyupi.com/
