Actually you can see Polar Bears at Helsinki Zoo, same with Brown Bears, and some Penguins. ;-)
Some sort of brown bears do live in finnish nature as well, though they are far away from major habitation areas. (There are also few Wolves, Wolverines, Foxes, -- and a few smaller predator mammals, like Minks.. There is also one unique breed of seals which is in danger of extinction: "Saimaa Norppa"; it lives only at one large lake in Finland. -- In case some definitely unique mascot is looked for, as the penguin looks a bit compromized at that respect...)
