Goodbye, winter!

After emerging from their hibernation den near Canada's Hudson Bay, a polar bear and her two cubs looked to be having a thrill enjoying the snow outside. One of the cubs couldn't help but act adorably by cuddling up to its mother and clutching her face.

"The cubs are pure white when they emerge," says photographer Christine Haines. "The mother is very gentle with them. I was amazed at how gently she places her paw on them when she would roll around."
