Google Earth
You can only see yourself in Google Earth if you were in a photo that they took. If you where, then you can see it in any version.
First you download Google Earth from google's web site. You can start by entering an address (or just a city name) in the fly-to-search panel and see Google Earth zoom to that location. Next check out the Google Earth user's guide (which includes video tutorials) and see what else Google Earth can do. See related links below.
It's possibly to spot a polar bear in either the high resolution street view imagery shown in Google Earth or imagery from a low-flying aircraft capturing the animal on film. See the related links below showing a number of wildlife caught on film in Google's Street View imagery for all to see including cheetah, bear, elephants, camels, and many others.

There are some strange things you can find on the high resolution satellite and StreetView imagery available in Google Maps and Google Earth. The Google Earth Community (GEC), Google Earth Blog, and Google Earth Hacks are probably the best web sites to visit to see what other users have found in Google Earth/Maps.

Google Earth is available from iTunes. Google provides instructions to install Google Earth on mobile devices including iPhone, iPod, or iPad. See related links.
