Having a whale of a time: The amazing moment a polar bear feasts on the blubbery remains of a dead orca.
That's
not an Orca. But anyway, the bear is willing to share with the Gulls, but I wonder what would happen if another bear arrived?
The polar bear is an enormously powerful predator, able to kill an adult walrus, although it rarely attempts to as a walrus can be more than twice the bear's weight. The whales are of similar size to the walrus and nearly as difficult for the bear to subdue. Most terrestrial animals in the Arctic can outrun the polar bear on land as polar bears overheat quickly, and most marine animals the bear encounters can outswim it.
linkI have seen footage of polar bears killing whales, I think orcas.
The whales were trapped under an ice floe with only a small hole to come up and breathe through. A couple of bears lurked at the top and as a whale came up, jumped in a mauled it. The whales had no choice but to keep coming there for air. Eventually one was killed, then the bears dragged it up on the ice. It weighed 8 to ten times what a bear weighs.
... and yet, I still want to hug a polar bear.
[scratches head] yep, I think that was it.
"Worlds most powerful predators" or some such schlockumentary. I watched it, tho.
Technically, it should be called an Arctic Bear.
Because they are only present in the Northern hemisphere.
Funnily enough, whales are towards the top of the food chain in the Antarctic, scoffing up the pengions, nom nom nom.
Even without old Teddy, I agree there is something so appealing about bears.
I trust them more than monkeys anyway.
I wonder if there are any BIPOLAR bears?
I wonder if there are any BIPOLAR bears?
yes - I call them co-workers. . .
I wonder if there are any BIPOLAR bears?
And if there ARE Bi Polar bears, are there gay polar bears as well?
I thought all bears were gay?
I've read that all polar bears are left handed.
They are! Thats why he's eating whale blubber
See movie * Me,myself and Iren.
And if there ARE Bi Polar bears, are there gay polar bears as well?
They must be happy sometimes.
I've read that all polar bears are left handed.
That comes from living near the north pole and the rotation of the earth.
I've read that all polar bears are left handed.
Does that mean the right-handed bears would be polar opposites?
They must be happy sometimes.
Sometimes. Unlike the whales, always blubbering on about something. "Oh, look at me, I'm a big giant meal. Oh, look at me, a mean old bear is eatin' my ass..."
:lol:
The Dream Bears.
And yes, Mum & I voted for them this year (Britain's Got Talent)
Hope this plays outside the UK

If you put things back where they belong, you wouldn't have this problem.
whoa whoa whoa
Walrus the same size as a whale?
After dinner he went out for a few drinks.
The next morning:
