Grizzly Man Swims with Polar Bear

This polar bear was raised in the home of Mark Dumas, apparently from the age of six weeks.

  1. Another Ian.
    Lov it.
    1 True
    2 Yes and thanks for educating us instead.
    3 That life.
    4 Seems understated til you realise how many don't get called a scientist by him.
    5 Good thing the weather is on our side.

  2. Hi Gary,
    Spangled is right. At a sufficiently high latitude, one can head due West, and return to the starting point in 1000 miles. That far North, the Griz cannot survive. And that leaves only Polar Bears. Their hairs are hollow, and provide better insulation against the Arctic cold.

    That reminds me of a terrible joke. A mother Polar Bear and her cub are having a conversation.

    Cub: Mom, what kind of animal am I?
    Mother: You're a Polar Bear, just like me.
    Cub: are you absolutely certain about that?
    Mother: Yes, I am. Why do you ask?
    Cub: Because I'm effing freezing!

    And yes, there are no bears in Antarctica. But I did not specify Nth or S hemisphere.
