Polar Bear Cubs, Hudson Bay, Canada, 1996

"While most [polar bear] females deliver twins [like these two], triplets aren't uncommon at Hudson Bay. At birth the cubs weigh little more than a pound [half a kilogram], with hair so fine it's nearly invisible."

(Photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Polar Bears," January 1998, National Geographic magazine)
