7 Amazing Places to Encounter Wildlife Up-Close

Many travelers dream of the chance to see polar bears in the wild, but for most people, it remains just that — a dream.

It's a different story for the 900 or so residents of Churchill, Manitoba, who are quite used to catching sight of a polar bear strolling through town or even standing outside their bedroom windows at night.

The bears spend the summer on land when the ice in Hudson Bay melts, and when they return to the water in the winter, their path often takes them right though downtown Churchill.
