Fun Facts about the
San Francisco Area
Polar Bear  

Did you know there are polar bears in San Francisco Bay. Ordinarily, polar bears prefer Arctic weather, but in spring and summer, the lure of fat sea lions just sitting around like hors d'oeuvres on a tray brings polar bears to Pier 39.

So be sure to bring your camera!
