You couldn’t persuade me to wrestle or swim with a polar bear for all the money in the world. Because one mistake and it’s game over.
If I’m completely honest I find it pretty scary when my cat turns on me, and he’s about the size of a polar bear’s paw. And with claws only capable of giving a nasty scratch rather than ripping your face off.
Bears are generally more earful than some other predators, like lions and tigers for instance. But I wouldn’t want to get close to any of them, no matter how friendly they may appear to be.
It’s nice that this video demonstrates humans and polar bears can form bonds and friendships, but I’d rather have one as a pen-pal, thank you very much.
