Screw Polar Bears

When I was a kid (and alas, not there at the time) some guy at Perth Zoo decided to commune with the Polar Bear there and jumped into the enclosure with it- using a paw, it *swatted off his head*

Plus they're one of the few animals on Earth that, due to food being scarce in nature's icebox, actively hunts human beings as a food source. As a minsanthrope, I'm all for Polar Bears...

"quit warming the global"
Casey, 5 stars for me cracking up with the first sentence!!!

I am torn though, clearly they pollute the water but it seems they can also dance. Who doesn't love a dancing bear?

Polar bears don't actively hunt people unless they're starving to death. They'll also go after Walruses and other unconventional food sources if they're hungry enough. They do occasionally kill people who provoke or startle them (generally it's a dumpster-diving polar bear getting surprised, or a mother protecting her cubs), and I mean, it would be wasteful to leave all that fresh meat there, right?

PS. The harp seal is an overpopulated, overgrown rodent. And people haven't hunted the white coated ones for decades. The polar bear is a legitimately threatened species.

@anonymous above me, you are an asshole, ever here of a joke? this is a comedy site, get a sense of humor.

btw, my favorite polar bear inspired pick up like
"How much does a polar bear weigh?"
"*target females response*"
"Enough to break the ice.*drum flourish* Hi I'm *name*"

Nice try, anonymous #1- you are clearly Knut, the Polar Bear Cub, attempting to get back on everyone's Cute Radar. Get back to the zoo!

Awesome article, I don't know which video was funnier though. And I agree first annon was a douche.

polar bears are so cute! :-D except when they're eating u.

Would pay to see that, Jessica. Well, maybe the furry version.

Stinkin' polar bears have doubled their population in the last 20 years - I want a PB rug.

wow BTB. i had no idea what you meant by that comment until I googled "furry version" which led me to some very disturbing pictures. thank you for perverting my virgin mind. also, that's really fucking weird.

Jessica, you're welcome - and thank you for the refreshing reminder that not 100% of the population has been entirely jaded by their InterWebz experiences.

Yet.

Though to be fair (to me) there was even a "furry" episode of CSI, so I didn't think it was that much of a reach to clarify that I was making a gratuitous anonymous perv comment rather than wishing that you actually be ingested by a large carnivorous mammal. Nice gams, BTW (to clarify further).
