Why Do Polar Bears Have Long Noses? Before turning to a life of writing and exploration, Dr. James Raffan started his academic career studying polar bear vision. And since those heady days in the 1970s, when he worked in a lab setting at the University of Guelph, he has spent 40+ years learning from polar bears in the wild and from the northern peoples who know them best. From his most recent book, Ice Walker, he takes you into the beguiling world of polar bear behaviour, anatomy and physiology to ponder why polar bears have long noses.
