Polar Bears - Data, Pictures and Videos

[GreenGrolar]

@peter regarding polar bear temperament, while it is true that these yellowish white bears vary in personalities (not a surprise as in Grizzly Years by Doug Peacock, grizzly bears have personalities like the seven dwafts from Snow White), it seems there are several accounts of polar bears with unpredictable temperaments:

Ursula Bottcher seems to confirm that in the 2nd paragraph, the lady whom ice skates with polar bears. Her younger pictures are similar to my ex, but with more straight hair. Interesting fact, Neptune is one of her biggest male polar bear at 1320 pounds, unusual for a captive polar bear considering the one posted by Geuta Gorjira says that a captive polar bear above 1125 pounds is rare and probably larger unverified Russian ones exist (can't remember exact sentence). Two trainers seem to always work around polar bears in the last paragraph. I know it is an old account but I doubt all of them are false. 100 years from now, many of what we post here will likely be called 'old'.

One more:

For the most part, humans are few within the Arctic range of Polar Bear, and deadly confrontations are few. Humans kill far more bears than bears kill people. Yet, Polar Bear is a very dangerous animal. Bears are fearless towards people; they are very curious and are unpredictable in temperament; and in the right circumstances one will stalk, kill, and eat a human as prey.

Polar bears are unpredictable as confirm by this article. One again like any other animal, some polar bears are more aggressive and others are more timid but we have a few accounts calling them unpredictable.

I have not forgotten that some of them can be a faithful friend to their human companions which you mentioned, probably depending on how well he was treated. Reply
