just a note: they don’t hunt humans. they are opportunistic and will include humans in their food supply if necessary. polar bears typically avoid people like other bears.

Yeah this one certainly doesn't look like it's hunting at all - not saying it wouldn't attack him if it could get to him, but it seems a lot more curious than aggressive.
How do the two different in appearance, in polar bears?
Angry growl vs questioning growl. Two totally different growls. I'm sure there is a community around here that could go into more detail for you.
I remain skeptical. At the risk of anthropomorphizing, why would a hunting bear be "angry"?
As the dude in the video says, this is more or less what they do with seals.
With such scarce food up there, isn't it always a good time to eat if it's just a single human?
Oh look a fresh human, no one has even opened his packaging yet!
"Hey guys, welcome to my unboxing video!" -bear
Leave him in there- they’re more valuable sealed
An avid human collector I see.
If you’re cold they’re cold, let him in!
Bear is like, "Damn clamshell packaging."
If it's black; fight back
If it's brown; lay down
If it's white; goodnight
Puts human in bear habitat, gets surprised the bear shows interest. Calls it "bear hunting human".
Lols.
Yeah, it kinda made me feel bad. It's probably hungry af and thought it finally found some food. As i recall it's not that easy to find for them.
If not friend then why friend shaped?
WHY ARE THEY SO CUTE THEN?
I think it's because they have no facial muscles, so they can't show emotion through facial expressions.
Nah their body language, shape, white fur and button eyes, paws, everything about them is cute
Without context and sound this looks like a johnny knoxville jackass challenge
thats two videos in a row that didnt have sound for me here on the lem
Here's a real video with sound and proper aspect ratio without borders.
He was eaten in the end.
Thanks for the video link.
But your end statement is bs tho. Glad for that too.
Made for a thrilling watch though didn't it?
Checked the link, comments, etc first before watching to make sure lol but yeah
god damnit I watched it and the guy just explains that he isnt worth the calories
🤣
what? he wasn't was he?
Are you sure?
Im not in an environment where I can watch it. now im just looking forward to watching that dummy get eaten like a fresh hamburg
The bear should just sleep next to it. The guy has to come out sometime.
We have been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty!!
"Damnit, I can never get these stupid clamshell packages open."
Just look at how adorable he is!
"Get off the phone. Get off... the... phone!"
He’s just here for the cuddles. Stop scaring people
They behave like big dogs. Big dogs, really big.
That eat people
Let the damn dog in!
If you’re cold they’re cold
I don't know, that bear just wasted quite a bit of energy in an environment where it really matters.
True, but would you have rather him killed and eaten the guy in the box?
I was more like why is the guy there. Because I don't know the answer can't make a definitive judgement on the case. If it was just to watch a bear struggle with a cage yea fuck that. If it was to document something that is undocumentable in any other way, that is more respectable.
He'd set up to film near a hole in the ice where seals pop up to take a breath, but the polar bear took an interest in him instead.
thanks in that case yea bad luck, glad he was in a cage
Do you have any snacks?
Any games on your phone? 👉👈🥺
