Bjorn the Polar Bear
Polar Bears are beautiful and truly magical creatures, we have produced this act in testimony to them.
Polar Fantastic
Los Kaos present Bjorn, Nanuk and Snowy the The Polar Bears, with their handlers Ursula & Arthur. The polar bears are fully animated pod puppet in a similar style to our Creatures. A highly skilled (and often very hot!) performer is inside operating all the movements including the facial animations - blinking eyes, sniffing nose, opening mouth and also the live sounds from our custom built sound equiptment.
The keeper characters are dressed in an Inuit style outfit to compliment the arctic theme, and act as an intermediary between the audience and the Polar Bear, distributing interesting facts and related chat.
To help set the scene we have a specially built inflatable ice environment in which we perform.
Our Top Polar Bear facts to impress your friends with - All Polar Bears are Capricorns & did you know, Arctic means 'with bears' and 'Antarctic' means without bears!
The show actually involves REAL science & has been performed at events such as BT Young Scientist of the Year, Cambridge Science Week, W5 Science Centre & World Oceans Day at Galway Aquarium.
The Polar Bear is threatened with extinction due to the effects of global warming. Los Kaos donate £10 of every booking fee to Greenpeace to aid in their campain to save the Polar Bears.

"I must thank Los Kaos and their magnificent Polar Bear...I must say without a shadow of doubt, this is the best costume I have ever seen. The structure, its noises down to the detail of its fur, was absolutely amazing. There were gasps of amazement from the audience at every show and comments from adults and children alike, 'is it a real bear!'"
