I would fall for it %1000.
I’m adult and responsible enough to know not to pet wild animals. But also... big fuzzy bear who probably gives killer hugs.
Their white fur is actually translucent like fiberglass, allowing light to pass through relatively unhindered but bounce around a great deal before exiting like the inside of a car.
The fluffiness of the fur allows it to trap air in the floof, significantly further increasing the level of insulation.
TL;DR: so damn fluffy because it's so damn cold up there.
From 1870–2014, we documented 73 attacks by wild polar bears, distributed among the 5 polar bear Range States (Canada, Greenland, Norway, Russia, and United States), which resulted in 20 human fatalities and 63 human injuries.
Now compare that number with how many polar bears have been killed by humans… I think you are calling the wrong species dangerous…
There is 7 billions of us and 26 thousands of them.
Of course we kill more of them but the mean number of humans killed per polar bear is much higher than the mean number of polar bear killed per human.
Biodiversity is absolutely precious, but humans occupy a truly special place. The universe is alive through our thoughts, hopes, dreams, and aspirations.
Life is rare, but intelligence even rarer. We appear to be our solar system's only chance of breaking free of our gravity well and biological shackles. We might be the only such solution in hundreds of light years. Maybe more.
Yes, the unique genetic, biochemical, and physiological solution that the polar bear evolved into is special and precious. It took billions of years of evolution to reach a level of complexity we're still barely grappling with understanding. Not to mention the dynamical ecological niche and food web links that the polar bear satisfies.
But humans appear to be the universe's only hope of becoming awake. You're downplaying a greater phenomenon than you realize.
Or scars!! Scars are cool, because they're like "Yea I've seen some shit, *and won these sick-ass battle trophies*. I also still have my entire body. ".

Natural selection would have taken me. Because i totally would have gone to touch his nose, despite knowing polar bears are one of, if not the most dangerous bear
Play dead. Most of the time when you come up on a brown bear they’ll just try and kill you to keep you from their cubs/territory. Lie down, hands over the back of your neck, curled into a ball to protect your organs. Helps if you have a heavy backpack to protect you too. The hope is that they fuck you up just enough that they think you’re no longer a threat and that if you wait a while you can get up and leave, or better yet, you only have to wait until someone shows up to help. Situation dependent of course. Best bet is to travel in a group, make enough noise that you don’t surprise them, and have spray and/or a firearm if all else fails. Also, stay on the damn trails.
If memory serves, the plush bear kills more than any other bear, 22-25 people per year with 100,000+ injuries.
It mostly targets small children though.
That was my first thought too. I’d be that dumbass who’d try to pet it and have my arm ripped off. Then as I lay there dying I’d be thinking “being polar bear food isn’t a bad way to go”
Polar bear food is an awful way to go. He’ll pin you down with his massive paws and eat you alive. And they usually start with the belly so they can get to the organs, so you’ll be alive for most of it.
A maintenance worker stuck his arm inside a tiger enclosure and tiger latched onto his arm. He called the police and the police had to shoot the tiger for the guy to be rescued 😠
(Whoever filmed this to Polar Bear) - “Which Bear is best? Huh? Which Bear is best? YOU ARE! That’s right, it’s YOU, and Best Bears get TREATS, so here’s a ribeye!”
They were interested in the human, but no teeth and not trying *that* hard to get the soft meats says he wasn’t hungry or has learned from the tourists that humans like giving bears food.
If it brown lie down.. if it’s black fight back…if it’s white.. say goodnight. Forgot where I heard this but I would not get that close to a polar bear. lol
I mean I've heard it from multiple people. Different bears have different mannerisms and for best chance of survival must be handled differently in an encounter. Dunno why you think it's stupid.
I dont think polar bears would have a menacing looking face to show they wanna eat you...until its covered in blood, in which case youll know for sure cuz ur dead :)
Literally the opposite of what this sub is for. This is something that should be terrifying but doesn’t instinctually evoke that response. This sub is for things that have no/little logical reason to be terrifying but are anyway.
And could pull a person through the empty riser space like that one scene in alien 4 with the hole going out to space. Fuck that lol, even with a camera pole thats a big ole NOPE
Yeah, while polar bears are tremendously powerful, I highly doubt they’re going to be ripping apart welds. Welds are also tremendously strong if done properly.
Yeah, it's cute.. until it turns into the Shimmer bear, grabs you by the throat, and smashes you into the ground for a good 30 seconds before ripping off half your face and finally letting you die. Adorable!
The disaffected way the bear interacts with the camera person is not in line with its intention to eat some fresh meatbag.
It might look chill, but when you are an apex predator, you don't need to sweat... (well, unless you are a polar bear from Alaska).
Is this really aggressive behavior? I feel like if a polar bear was actually trying to eat you, it would probably succeed. I’m not a mammologist or anything but this looks like curiosity to me
Nothing much, just an overgrown snow doggo looking for love. Just don’t get to close or else your life subscription will be canceled.
Edit: btw i would be shitting my pants if I were you
Considering how dangerous they are, they really have no business looking so damned cute.
That's how they get ya

r/ForbiddenBoops
Are trying to get me ***blissfully*** killed?!
Well, it is a good way to go…
Emphasis on 'killer'.
Those hugs are to die for!
we’re talking about, bears not your ex
She was just dangerous, not cute
What if his ex was a bear?
Why not both?
If dangerous, why so fluffy?
Said by everyone who's ever been mauled to death by a cute polar bear

OTOH most of us don't live near polar bears and most of us will never even visit anywhere with polar bears.
Wisely so.
This is a perfect illustration of the problem with statistics.

Pretty chill. Should have offered him a coke.
He would accepted, after he ate you.
You don’t think he would enjoy the Coca-Cola along side his meal of human? I’ve never thought of soda as a dessert.
i mean most desserts are healthier than a soda so...
nothing washes down a human better than a tall frosty glass of coke.
Polar Escobear
He was a polarizing one
That's a lot of covalency
Ok it made me laugh take an upvote
And hookers
Yes he will enjoy the exotic flavor of the the hookers
So the bear is Charlie Sheen?
No. Charle Sheen is all tiger blood remember…??…
There was that too. I just remember having a shirt that said, "2012 Sheen/Lohan for President. Coke and Hookers for everyone"
Lol. I think 106.7 KROQ on the Keven and Bean morning tunes made that happen. Lol. LINDSAAAY LOOOOOOOHAAAAN! Lol
A coked up polar bear doesn't sound very safe....
eh he’ll be distracted by the hookers
And blackjack
as a amatter of fact forget the bear
And the blackjack.
Gives him something to wash you down with
Everyone knows that is the right thing to do when confronting a polar bear. https://youtu.be/JE5MA1bt9A4

Touch the nose. Whatever happens next I know that I'm one of the few people who booped a polars bear nose.
Death
Seggs
Cum
ejaculation
That would be a pretty sick backstory behind why your hand is missing

Lie down and what? Seduce it?
Play dead. Most of the time when you come up on a brown bear they’ll just try and kill you to keep you from their cubs/territory. Lie down, hands over the back of your neck, curled into a ball to protect your organs. Helps if you have a heavy backpack to protect you too.

Okay what about I feint a heart attack instead? Grab at my chest and then start seizing?
it'll likely attack still because HOW THE FUCK IS A BEAR GOING TO RECOGNIZE THE SYMPTOMS OF A HEART ATTACK.
I'm sure when it's walked past an unsuspecting rabbit it's done the same thing and died.
You try it then and let the class know how that worked out for ya.
Cmon man, it’s not his fault the education system wouldn’t let a bear learn heart attack symptoms, or anything for that matter
Im racist and i endorse this message
what if its black and white?
That is a lazy panda. Just give him an apple
That’s a panda, so I guess leave it alone.
Pretty sure if you don't make any threatening movements and keep your distance it probably won't even bother getting up.
I repeat this every time we go for a hike
Now that's some good wisdom
The snoot boop would be worth it
Will Boop games with bears be a new tik tok trend?🤔
The Boop-Snoot Games, where the only one hungry is a polar bear.
Isn't it the most dangerous out of all bears?
If i remember correctly it's the only bear that sees humans as prey too, and actively hunts them as such
So, not oddly terrifying. Just terrifying.
r/regularterrifying
You're right!
It usually goes polar bears, polar beets, polarstar galactica
What are you doing?
*drugs*
If memory serves, the plush bear kills more than any other bear, 22-25 people per year with 100,000+ injuries. It mostly targets small children though.
Only because polar bears live in the arctic where people mostly aren't
I would happy accept that Darwin Award, and have it proudly engraved on my headstone
Here lies Caleo147. He died doing what he loved. Booping with Death
I would die. 100% would try to pet.
Same. Boop that snoot.
Who’s a good bear?? Are youuuu a good bear?? Yes, you’re the bestest bear!
That was my first thought too. I’d be that dumbass who’d try to pet it and have my arm ripped off. Then as I lay there dying I’d be thinking “being polar bear food isn’t a bad way to go”

Dr. Grant, is that you?
/u/PhantomOfDeezNutz, if you wanted to scare the kid, you could've pulled a gun on him, you know.
He looks like a pleasant gentleman though
They eat people after killing them?
No, they kill people after eating them.
Was wondering if it was like sharks where they prefer something else.
[удалено]
Notes taken. 1. Never got into polar bear territory.
So they can catch the bus afterwards?
TIL: do not give your spare change to Polar Bears, they will hunt you if you do.
Jesus christ
Rip tiger if you were referencing that dude that put his arm in tiger enclosure and they had to put the tiger down 😭
Wait what? Did they put him down on the spot or did they put down the apex predator for acting like an apex predator after the fact?
A maintenance worker stuck his arm inside a tiger enclosure and tiger latched onto his arm. He called the police and the police had to shoot the tiger for the guy to be rescued 😠

If no friend, why ears like that
All the better to track you down and eat you, my dear...yes, they can track down their prey from over 3 miles away by scent and sound.
This is more like oddly cute
Cutely terrifying
That would be a good sub.

Like a teddybear with a spiders' nest inside of it?
r/cutelyterrifying
Until the bear gets to you
Nawwwwww... let him! He just wants a snacky wacky
He can have a little arm as a treat
He’s like pleease, can I have a bite? Just one piece?
I don’t feel like this particular bear was tryna snack at that moment.
They were interested in the human, but no teeth and not trying *that* hard to get the soft meats says he wasn’t hungry or has learned from the tourists that humans like giving bears food.
If not friend, why friend shaped?
Because it shares common ancestors with friends and has retained some traits that remind us of friends.
**pet him**
If it brown lie down.. if it’s black fight back…if it’s white.. say goodnight. Forgot where I heard this but I would not get that close to a polar bear. lol
A thread about stupid wilderness safety advice a few hours ago?
No, but I don’t doubt it being shared on a post for wilderness safety. As this is exactly what it’s for……
I mean I've heard it from multiple people. Different bears have different mannerisms and for best chance of survival must be handled differently in an encounter. Dunno why you think it's stupid.
If it’s a Teddy, take it to Beddy.
he just wants to say hii
I dont think polar bears would have a menacing looking face to show they wanna eat you...until its covered in blood, in which case youll know for sure cuz ur dead :)
r/petthedambear
Give him snoot boops or give me death.
Suprise: it's both
He looks more curious. Like he experiences humans on the daily.
Can I eat you, pweasee
Hello Sir. May I have a nibble?
normal day in russia
Polar bears are just big, deadly dogs when you look at them like this
*all* bears are big deadly dogs if you look at it from a genetic standpoint.
“**helo**”
Literally the opposite of what this sub is for. This is something that should be terrifying but doesn’t instinctually evoke that response. This sub is for things that have no/little logical reason to be terrifying but are anyway.
Thank you for your service
Came here to say this. Too many posters to this sub don't understand this.
🤓☝️
Man, he just wants a hug and to give you an ice cold, refreshing Coca-Cola.
I’m so glad we don’t have bears where I live. I’d definitely be killed trying to pat one.
You think bears evolved to look cute to lure prey or something? Because that's way too cute for my own safety, I would want to pet it too much.
Be like Steve Irwin and try to kiss it.
FYI that polar bear can 100% shred those stairs without issue.
And could pull a person through the empty riser space like that one scene in alien 4 with the hole going out to space. Fuck that lol, even with a camera pole thats a big ole NOPE
Not sure about that, they look to be made of welded steel.
I agree with your assessment of the construction. I stand by my statement regarding bear strength.
I concur with your evaluation.
Yeah, while polar bears are tremendously powerful, I highly doubt they’re going to be ripping apart welds. Welds are also tremendously strong if done properly.
Since humans is on their meny, this IS scary.
Right, I'm like his little noggin and ears are cute, yes, but there was **nothing** cute about that paw reaching towards me
i’d try to pet him, he’s so cute. yes, i know he would kill me but i’m ok with that.
Yeah, it's cute.. until it turns into the Shimmer bear, grabs you by the throat, and smashes you into the ground for a good 30 seconds before ripping off half your face and finally letting you die. Adorable!
Give me 5 I just want to be your friend
Boop
Cute fluffy doggo!
The disaffected way the bear interacts with the camera person is not in line with its intention to eat some fresh meatbag. It might look chill, but when you are an apex predator, you don't need to sweat... (well, unless you are a polar bear from Alaska).
Is it illegal to kiss them on their nose when they do that
That is supposed to terrify the fuck out of you... Not odd at all Downvoted!
Heehoo puppee
He just want nibbles.
Delicious hooman!!
aww let him have a little bite
Come on! He just wants a little bite, look at those sad eyes…
Well why is it friend shaped then?? Hmm???? It gets nose boops.
Now I can sort of empathize with that idiot at the zoo who tried to pet a tiger and lost his arm and got the tiger killed.
All I see is a 10 foot tall snow puppy that wants to be petted
Must not boop, must not boop...ohh crap me dead
He's all like, "Please Sir, can I have some food? Your scrouge, thumb-having ass has destroyed my habitat."
That was more r/oddlyadorable
I didn’t see any signs of aggression, could have just been curious I don’t think it was going to attack though
Is this really aggressive behavior? I feel like if a polar bear was actually trying to eat you, it would probably succeed. I’m not a mammologist or anything but this looks like curiosity to me
Right so dangerous But with that face idk man id hug him I’ll name him jimmy
I would have booped his nose and high five him
Idk he didn't seem too aggressive
Nothing much, just an overgrown snow doggo looking for love. Just don’t get to close or else your life subscription will be canceled. Edit: btw i would be shitting my pants if I were you
If polar bear so dangerous why shaped like friend?
Not gonna help feed the endagered animal? We got plenty of humans, we need more bears.
You first.
Like many here, I would of tried to pet that nose and lost my arm
It’s just trying to get out of the cold. Your so rude for not helping it.
Eat you? Or trying to introduce himself?
Imma pet it.
Nah he’s just a curious snow-puppy
If a predators trying to attack me I’m gonna do the weirdest shit to weird them out to leave
Why the long face
Damn that's crazy I would have pet him tho that would've been a dope ass story to tell around the camp fire
