It's strange to me that, for being so large they don't make much sound. They're not agitated, just following their instincts. A silent predator. Terrifying.
The fact polar bears are one of the two predators in the world (the other being crocodiles) that genuinely still see humans as food and actively hunt us makes this all the more terrifying
@@Pihsrosnec Opportunistically sure, but opportunism is one thing; it's a different matter entirely when you know a predator is looking at you and is actively working out how to eat you rather than weighing the pros and cons.
"So was petting the bear worth it?" "Well, on one hand, I can cross that off my bucket list." "And on the other hand?" "Dude, I don't *have* the other hand anymore."
@@mariafox9226 polar bears see you as prey anyways. So just run faster than the guy next to you, so he gets eaten while you get to the van and drive off.
"My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail is a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death" aww who needs a snooty boop you do!
In This specific scenario he would of been okay to boop it, Bc he head was in between the steps, not an easy bite to make, and that’s only of it even wanted to bite
Honestly I have done worse as a child. Not bragging. Just vigorously shaking my past self by the shoulders going, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! HOW ARE WE EVEN ALIVE YOU DUMB FUCK?!?!"
I've heard in Alaskan towns, people keep their cars unlocked for fellow townsfolk to hide in should they need somewhere to take shelter if pursued by a polar bear.
it's the way they act with no malice or warning. Just fuzzy, round ears, long snoot, cute cubs, and you know a human city is a grocery store to them. They don't see us or anything else really as a threat. So there's no posturing, no growling or snarling. They also don't do it out of a sense of hatrid or anger so again it's just a boring day to them. Like grabbing a snack from the pantry, they just decide to munch on some human.
@@GamePolicies no I don't think he meant booped because the nose is long and let's be honest everyone would want to slide their hand on the long nose of the bear
The thing is, knowing how good a polar bears sense of smell is, it definitely knew that guy was standing there at the tops of the stairs. Even if it couldn’t work out the connection between the camera on a stick and the guy holding it, it knew he was there. The only reason it didn’t run up and tear him apart was because it just didn’t feel like it
@@emilstorgaard9642 Still, a bear's a bear There's no telling whether touching it would aggravate it and by that point you're already in the danger zone
Part of me is like “this thing weighs about a metric ton and can easily turn me into shredded human meat” and another part is like “want to pet the big snow dog.”
@@lapepa1699 You don't really need a source. Just use your common sense. Polar bears have sharp claws. If they manage to get a clean strike they can behead or at the very least partially behead you.
If you ever need a reminder of what these cute adorable bears are like when they don't love you start at 1:34 of this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WrMmQHSA6Cs.html&ab_channel=KTVQNews
It is actualy possible but you have to have it with good personality and from young age its hard but not imposible because even if friendly bear will come to you i think it is illegal to feed them let alone pet them
Didn't a bear participate in the Russian army at one point? I think that bears are as smart as 7th graders and could probably live in this society if they grew up in a human household for a few generations. We would probably have to tweak their social gene (the ones that separates dogs from wolves), but other than that it would be simple to have literal beargirls. Imagine a stripper club, but with BEARS 🤤😋
i mean, technically they are. don't cats look innocent? if we were smaller than them, we'd be food too. it's all about your position in the food chain.
For real. Unlike most other bears, polar bears in particular will sometimes actually hunt people. Remote arctic towns literally have polar bear drills. I even heard a story a long time ago about a Russian town that temporarily evacuated because multiple polar bears came into town.
I am done with this. Got rid of this comment cause of the sheer amount of negative comments on my comment. I. AM. SICK. OF. THIS. Just please stop being negative ya gremlins.
I disagree, considering where he was located and if the food sources are scarce yes, he could have been chompy, but overall extremely rare for polar bears to attack humans. You have a greater chance of getting harmed by a disgruntled kid in a middle school than by that beautiful bear.
Oh god, the worst part of this video is that the bear showed no stress or defense signs. The bear is not nervous or scared. That bear is literally just at the grocery store
this is honestly me 😆 but to be fair a lot of spiders are poisonous sob’s that can put a serious hurting on you or kill you, same with scorpions and other insects. I use to live in an area that had a Brown Recluse problem, needless to say most people in the area weren’t the ‘aww, pick it up and throw it back to nature!’ type. More like burn it with fire. At least when you see something like a bear, you know what to expect and it’s unlikely to inject poison into you that will eat at your flesh 24hrs later or send you into cardiac arrest from some unknown allergy.
@@tnb4509 are you denying scientific reality?? Ok you like spiders, cool, but many people fear them because of the very real potential of infection or you know DEATH many spider species carry. I’m not saying bears aren’t dangerous, I’m saying they both are real threats. I like wolves too, you don’t see me running around saying they aren’t dangerous 😆
@@tnb4509 you literally said my comment is false, and are still ignoring the fact venomous spidered exist. I have lived (several states and temporarily a few countries) the reaction is commonly the same: person see spider = person smash/spray/broom/trap spider. At this point I think you misunderstood what I said entirely. It’s about perception. A bear, wolf, tiger etc. is perceived as an IMMEDIATE threat, humans know what to expect. Whereas spiders are ‘ominous’; I could be fine, or I could end up being an amputee, paralyzed, diseased or dead. They’re tiny clusterfuck surprises. That’s why majority of people don’t actively perceive them as somewhat ‘cute’ in any regard.
@@Onepieceistheworstfuckinganime If someone put their hand up there to rub its nose and it was able to grab onto a sleeve or hand, it would literally extrude them through that opening between the stairs with sheer strength and they would die quickly from the trauma of possibly losing a couple or more limbs in the process.
he looks so polite like he's asking you if it's okay for him to gouge out your intestines and eat you from the inside out. he's so adorable I'd say yes
Wayyyyy back in the 1970's a photographer asked to be put in a cage and for everyone else to back far off in the arctic bus so the polar bear would come up to his cage and he'd get some great shots. So that's what they did. The photographer later said he just felt like meat at the grocery store. It mattered not to the bear that he was a human, just that the thing in the steel box might be food. The bear didn't roar or slash out or bang on the cage like would be typical in a movie. It just calmly tried to balance out how to get at him using the least amount of its precious energy reserves. Then wandered off. Nothing personal.
@Grammarly Why are you so caught up over meaningless internet points though? It's like arguing over which side of a sandwich is the top or bottom. It doesn't matter.
@Grammarly I mean by that logic there was no need for your first comment in this thread. If you really believed it didn't matter to you then you wouldn't have said it. So why be the prick that points it out in the first place if it doesn't matter to you?
Tigers, lions, hyena, wolves, leopards, other bears... they'll eat a human if they're desperate or kill if threatened, but they usually try to avoid them. Polar bears actively hunt and eat humans. The only predator animal on earth to do so.
@@planescaped yes true. Polar bears are literally the ONLY animals on Earth that hunt humans for sport. Even if they aren't hungry or don't consider you a threat.
That has got to be scary since polar bears are basically the most aggressive type of bear. As the saying goes, "If it's brown, lay down. If it's black, fight back. If it's white, good night."
