Follow the separate journeys of two captive polar bears, as they travel from their northern hemisphere homes to Sea World, on the Gold Coast of Australia. Drawing upon years of experience in the care and exhibition of marine mammals, Sea World took on their most ambitious project when they set out to create a living virtual reality for one of the natural world’s most majestic and dangerous predators. By using movie special effects and the most up-to-date zoo technology, Sea World recreated the arctic summer at Polar Bear Shores, and set a new benchmark for the captive care of polar bears. The transfers were long and difficult, and not without setbacks. This film charts the highs and lows, meeting Kanook in Tucson, Ping Ping in Beijing, and staying with them as they get to know each other and their new home. For their new keepers it is an exciting challenge; for their long-time carers, a sad goodbye; for animal lovers around the world, a chance to meet these two very special polar bears face to face.
