Friday, 11 February 2011 3:41 PM

If you’re in search of the world’s rarest and most fascinating animals on your career break, then the latest offer from Wildlife Worldwide will interest you. Book your Canadian polar bear expedition now and you can save up to £650 per person.

The polar bear is the world’s largest carnivore and adult males can weigh up to 1.5 tonnes. They are specially adapted for extremely cold habits and survive by hunting seals.

Wildlife Worldwide has a range of trips departing from the Canadian town of Churchill, known as the polar bear capital of the world. During your seven-day expedition you can observe polar bears in their natural habitat as they migrate across the icy wilderness.

There is also a strong possibility of seeing the Northern Lights on this trip to one of Canada’s most remote regions.

Prices for the seven-day Classic Polar Bears trip start at £3,585, based on an October 12 departure. This includes international flights, five nights’ accommodation and most meals.
