Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright on all-fours reared to two legs, a massive broad-shouldered male polar bear named Lomonosov, centered in the frame. His fur is thick and silvery-white with a faint grey sheen along the back and powerful forelimbs, plush around a wide barrel chest and heavy haunches. He has a broad blunt muzzle, small rounded ears, a glossy coal-black nose, deep-set dark warm eyes, and short black claws on huge padded paws planted on packed snow. His posture is proud and triumphant, one thick foreleg raised high in a victorious wave, mouth open in a hearty grin, soft clouds of warm breath-steam curling around his head. Background: a snow-dusted Yakutsk zoo enclosure at dusk, frosted fencing, drifting snow, faint aurora glow on the horizon.
