Just a week before their fifth birthday, Aurora and Anana welcomed me for another visit to their beautiful home at the Columbus Zoo. as the zoo made preparations for their first night of Wild Lights, their Christmas lights celebration. It was a crisp autumn day, and the sunlight, low in the sky, gave a magical luminescence to their fur. The bears, seeming to know that a big crowd was coming to see them that evening, spent most of their time lazing in the golden sunlight, resting up.
The fact that polar bears fur is made up of clear hollow hairs may enhance the glowing effect of the setting sun.
