#ArcticSeaIceDay The channels between Canadian Arctic islands have historically been covered by sea ice all summer. #Polarbears living there are able to remain on ice all year. This ecoregion may provide one of the last refuges for the bears. #ExploreCreateInspire #wildlifephotography #ArtWolfe

Ring-tailed lemurs are completely at home in Madagascar's spiny forests. The lemurs are omnivores and the spikes of Alluaudia do not deter them from feeding on the succulent leaves. www.artwolfestock.com/gallery/Q2-2... #ExploreCreateInspire #ArtWolfe #potd #landscapephotography #CanonLegend
