A Picture is Worth... Playful Polar Bear

Polar bears are getting quite a lot of media attention these days because of global warming and people are becoming more familiar with them. But here's a side of them that we don't see every day: The playful side. Above is a wild male polar bear, about 1,200lbs and probably hadn't eaten in 4 months, playing with sled dogs in the North of Manitoba, Canada. This is not a unique event, it happens more often than we think in nature. Don't try this at home, though. Via ::Animals at Play

They are way to cute to hunt so don't if you do you will die so hard you wish you had not died
Polar Bears are so cute. When i was younger I owned a baby cub but it got taken away, So sad. His name was Greggy, He was so sad when he left us. Anyway I just hope that everyone knows that polar bears are so cute.
Polar Bears are my fave animals and it kills me to see them collapsing and dying off. Please help save the polar bears! An easy way to help is to got to Build A Bear and make a stuffed polar bear. When you buy/make one the money goes to a polar bear fund!

can you honestly own a baby cub? isn't it illegal in manitoba?
and if you did, wouldn't it eat you when its older if you didn't get a trainer? which would cost thousands of dollars.
reply back to me anyone:

I feel so bad for these animals, when i get older i want everone to stop pulluting the earth so that animails wont die because of us!
i feel so bad!
This is really an imperfect combination. we don't know what would happen if the canine teeth of polar pierced the dog....
i cant believe that polar bears are becoming extinct. they're just like any other animal. i really dont get the point of hunting...how can u kill animals like that just to have a coat or something made of them...who ever you are please stop killing them...its not fair to them, or the people that care about them...i for one think hunting should stop...espically if something is becoming extinct!
Poler bears are veary sute but do not Im mean DO NOT have them as pet thay are wild animals so do not keep them as pets they my be cute as cubs but thay get biger you know and some times meaner thay can kill you! THAY DO NOT MAKE GOOD PETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and global warming is a crock if its real than why is thare snow in texas???? so dont blame it on global warming blame it on polllution!.!.
Polar bears are the only bears to actively hunt human beings so they are very dangerous!
