Ursa the Polar Bear
A little polar bear Ursa and his friends face big and small challenges in the Arctic world.
Every day the little polar bear Ursa goes out from his cosy snowy den and meets his good friends for new adventures. A cute and playful seal puppy Selma, a small clumsy reindeer Reina, a slow and wise walrus-kid Ross and a little funny lemming Lemmy. They have fun and explore and discover the world in the Arctic together. The Arctic world is amazing and unique. There, the dark polar night lasts half a year, and the world is lit only by the stars and the northern lights. Then comes the short northern summer, when the sun doesn’t set over the horizon for many days. In all kinds of weather, Ursa is spending time with his friends, playing and learning new things together. And after all the day’s challenges, Ursa comes home tired, but happy and climbs into the mother’s reliable and gentle arms. She hugs Ursa and sings to her little one a beautiful Arctic bear-lullaby.
