Radar tech mauled to death by polar bears while photographing them at Arctic outpost

You can’t demonize an animal for trying to survive

But I feel what you’re trying to say. Polar bears are apex predators and genuinely monstrous. They eat when they can and whatever they can

IMO in terms of wild animal encounters, a Polar Bear has gotta be the absolute worst scenario ... Equaled only maybe by the Oceanic Whitetip but if you see one of those you were probably gonna die anyway

But a Polar Bear is like a living tank ... a tank who's habitat and lifestyle requires it to be absolutely desperate for the next meal

The Simon Nellist video was pure uncut horror but I'll take the white shark over the polar bear any day

Wow.

I’ve stood next to 2 caged bears… close enough to see that their fur has a natural oily sheen to it in the sun. They were supposedly raised from cubs by humans, but were MASSIVE.

That was enough to scare me from ever wanting to see one in the wild.

I’ve also seen photos of the remains of humans eaten by bears.

What the fukk was he thinking?

Melanin fun fact of the day

"Polar bears have black skin (high melanin concentration to absorb heat) but their fur is actually transparent and hollow (no white pigment), which reflects light to appear white, providing camouflage. "

Hands down. Polar bears have zero fear of humans.

Polar bears and tigers if you see one in the wild

just get ready to meet the Lord

The worst is hippos. They lied to us about them monsters growing up. Used to see games like hungry hungry hippos, or you’d see them in Disney movies dancing with tutu’s on. Not realizing that these are some demonic spawns from hell that kill more people than most other animals.

I remember when I went to a resort with my life this place called kalangala, it was night and near the water and i started to hear some sounds. I'm like let's goooo!! We go back to the resort and a worker is like yeah hippos roam around at night

I went back and googled and yup

Hippos wreak havoc on Kalangala gardens

Residents say the attacks by the hippos have been constant since last week and that James Ssali, a fisherman, survived one while on a fishing expedition.

A lot of people underestimate how FAST even the very large bears can run. Polar bears can get up to 25mph on land.

Good points but do polar bears need to torture seals in order to survive??

are polar bears and hyenas simply vindictive? lions put their prey out of their misery first, does that make them smarter?

RIP to the bear. CAC wanders into their home and THEY die?

Who this CAC think he is, Mystikal??? Got me praying for the bear and shyt

I would imagine that going out alone would be against protocol. Even so, I wonder if he was armed.

It’s scary to be out in the elements with dangerous predators. And knowing that nobody can save you if things go wrong is

On today's episode of fukk around and find out

How about RIP to the bear that got killed because this idiot don’t want to read the signs. He literally walked past a sign warning employees to be on the lookout for bears. He’s in their territory and they are just animals being animals.

ok the sign said be on the look out, it didn't say turn around and go back

I would not have taken photos like that outside the safety of a vehicle but to each their own.

I remember Trumps first term in office, to escape the Trump term, alot of immigrants with not so solid paperwork crossed to border between North Dakota and Manitoba to Manitoba and he said they saw a polar bear. I didn't know the bears came down that far. A Somali guy told us one guy disappeared(not saying the bear got him) and they didnt know what happen to him. He heard it had happened before.
