The World Wildlife Fund - WWF ( hardly a bastion of conservatism - just conservationists ) stated the following in 2009:/snip/
"20-25,000 polar bears worldwide
Aproximately 19 distinct sub-populations (see above map)
60% of these are in Canada
Tracks have been reported as far north as the pole
Few scientists believe few bears travel beyond 82° north latitude. This is because the northern Arctic Ocean has little food for them."
This is more in line with Bill's statement.
