I have uploaded a picture of the new USA Polar Bear stamp. It is not
part of the International Polar Year -- but still may appeal to
collectors of this topic.
Info from USPS.com:
On April 16, 2009, in New York, New York (Mega Stamp Show), the Postal
Service™ issued a 28–cent, Polar Bear definitive stamp, designed by
Carl T. Herrman, Carlsbad, California.

This stamp features a polar bear by illustrator Nancy Stahl, who has
created several designs for the Postal Service including the Florida
Panther in 2007 and the Dragonfly in 2008. This stamp shows the bear’s
head, chest, and front paws, and in the background is a dark blue sky
dotted with stars. Stahl used a collection of photographs to create
this highly stylized illustration.
