Madness: Swimming with polar bears

Some people enjoy watching polar bears as they wander across the arctic tundra. Some like to go a step further and go on a polar bear sightseeing trip. Others will take their children to the zoo and watch the bears put in the days. But some people, some crazy people, go swimming with polar bears. Well, nearly. At the Polar Bear Habitat in Ontario you go ‘swimming’ with polar bears, who happen to be in another pool separated by a sheet of toughened glass.
