Luckily, most oil spills are far away from the bears normal habitat. Should a polar bear get oil on it, it would be a very difficult job to clean it as they prefer to bathe without help. A polar bear would have to be tranquilized in order for the wildlife team to get close enough to clean it off.

How long will it take to clean up the bp oil spill?

This cannot be known for certain. For starters, have they properly stopped the release of oil yet? No guarantees here. Secondly, how do you define 'cleaned up'? One would think that the Exxon Valdez spill was cleaned up some time ago and all the wildlife back again. But I learn that you can still find oil there even now. So is that spill cleaned up or not, in your definition?
