International Polar Bear Day has a more serious objective than "Hey, look at these cute creatures!"

Popularized by Polar Bears International, the 10-year-old holiday aims to raise awareness about the dangers to polar bears' survival caused by Arctic warming. You can read more about those initiatives here, but remember: Polar bears are cute creatures, so don't feel bad about taking a second to enjoy the photos, below, too. —Sarah Eberspacher
