Wildlife filmmaker John Downer<\/a> uses disguised cameras to track the lives of two mother polar bears as they lead their cubs across the Arctic Norway.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

He uses 3 types of cameras: the Snow-cam, disguised as a lump of snow; the Blizzard-cam, which can propel itself to 37 mph; and the Iceberg-cam, a waterproof camera which can navigate between sheets of ice and shoot underwater.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

What Downer found in his footage was the polar bear\u2019s \u201castonishing intelligence<\/em>,\u201d as they weren\u2019t fooled by the snowball impostors and destroyed nearly $200,000<\/strong> worth of equipment. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Secondary cameras caught the entire act on video<\/a>.
\nThe hour special, Polar Bear: Spy on the Ice, aired on BBC<\/a> last month.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Audiences are still closer to polar bears than ever before with the use of these cameras, despite their later destruction. And how adorable is that\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
