I think there must be something genetic about it... but to me, a brown bear would clearly be terrifying in person, while I cannot imagine a polar bear as being anything but cute. White == sweet and docile.

I know, intellectually, that a polar bear is a godless killing machine, just like all bears. But I can't make myself believe it. In fact, I can't think of a single white animal that I can really convince myself is frightening.
