Cubs are born with very little fur. You can feel it with your fingers. It's good, like beef. We don't eat it raw. It's only a little stronger than beef when it's young.
Older bear tastes stronger.
We boil it. Sometimes cook it in the oven. I met with Stevie Audlakiak from Broughton Island, our other Inuit guide, after our daily science meeting this morning. We discussed Polar Bears, Stevie's sled dogs, his love for diving under the ice and many details of his culture and daily life. Stevie, like James, shared his knowledge of Polar Bears based upon his personal experiences.
