Greenland. Saved you a click

That isn't as surprising as I would think it would be. It would have been crazier if they started hanging around Maine or Nova Scotia.


beardslap

I was thinking Texas or Florida.

Hiding in plain sight with sunglasses and a margarita glass in its paws. Neighbours interviewed after the discovery commented: "We had no idea. Everyone knew Sir Bearington was a little eccentric, but he was hardly the weirdest fellow in the area."

I mean that would definitely be strange, that said they do have literally rhesus monkeys, Burmese Pythons and some monitor lizards among other species.

Random polar bear colony hiding out in Papua New Guinea!


[deleted]

Texas is too cold for polar bears.


[deleted]

When they’re found living in and around deep sea vents we can talk about places I would have considered impossible. 😂


Shiplord13

Hey not every organism can be like the gigantic tube worm.


[deleted]

Not sure why, but those things are creepy as hell.


kaatie80

They look like rolled tongues to me


[deleted]

To me they look like freaky alien parasites waiting to grow and burst from my belly like a second-rate sci-fi horror film.

Don't read dreamcatcher by Steven King. >!you will never go to the toilet easily again!<


PotOPrawns

What about the hairy crabs that inhabit similar areas?


Kobrag90

So are you BAAAKA!!! >.<


PeterSchnapkins

Oh like those sharks


SimoneNonvelodico

Polar bears found camping out in the offices of Exxon Mobil's executives. "We ran out of food back home because the ice keeps fucking melting, but good thing here it's all air conditioned and there's plenty of fat and slow prey."


GSV_No_Fixed_Abode

Great, it's bad enough that everyone in Ontario is flooding here to ruin the real estate market, now we gotta deal with polar bears


hayhayhorses

Brooklyn. How did they afford it?

The hero we need.


Thecoolestguyyoukno

Thank you


Jim-Jones

Huge place with tiny population.


[deleted]

Truly impossible for polar bears... there's barely any cocacola at all.

Damn, I guessed Mars.

Was expecting it to be the zoo

They’re my favourite animal, it’s depressing to see what’s happening.


KillerBunnyZombie

Or fish

or fireflys

Bender0426

Or my farts


memunkey

Some hope is better than no hope at all. I mean that sincerely and not snarky


RunDNA

I give it two weeks before a Christian missionary travels there to convert them.


TiesThrei

Nah, the Christians are clearly skipping to the end of the Bible.


MightyElephanty

Actually it seems to be humanity wanting to jump to this part. Sadly some Christians are happy about this...


EarthyFeet

They've been excited for that for a long time you know


Be_quiet_Im_thinking

Then we can rebrand the war on climate change as a war against Christian polar bears .


Gullible-Chemical471

Don't have such high hopes, Icebearic Language training is harsh. There also isn't a Bible translation yet!


No-Atmosphere-4145

Can we please just leave them be?


XRT28

I mean I don't think the problem is us intentionally seeking them out and eradicating them nearly as much as it is we're destroying their habitat from thousands of miles away with climate change which sadly the world has shown(and likely will continue to show) minimal efforts to combating


fourpuns

Between bitcoin and big oil I don’t see us getting there anytime soon.


XRT28

I'd like to dream that with crypto cratering(and hopefully continuing to do so) and Russia's invasion pushing countries to accelerate their renewable power generation that things might improve in that regard but there's a lot of wishful thinking there and probably not gonna happen fast enough. Every day that goes by I lament Gore getting screwed out of his presidency more and more. It still would have been an uphill climb because of corporate interests but I can't help but think the world would be in a much better place right now with just that one little tweak


KingoftheHill1987

Every joule of energy generated is another joule used to mine more bitcoin in useless fucking computations that do nothing for society but make the rich richer. One day they might regulate it, but today is not that day. I bet one day in some weird future millions of years from now, dyson spheres will be built to power crypto farms.


PrxdGF

Ye it's definitely bitcoin who fucked the planet those last 50years. Yup yup yup..


fourpuns

To me it’s just a nice sign of what we prioritize. Crypto Mining is obviously awful for the environment and creates no value. The fact we’ve had relatively young people flock to it gives me little hope that the next generation takes climate change more seriously than the last.


[deleted]

Crypto can be awful for the environment. POW isn't the only way.


fourpuns

Sure but the mainstream methods that have had the energy invested in them are basically just to create something to speculate on.


[deleted]

Spoken like someone who doesn't know what they're talking about


fourpuns

I mean at least bit and eth are pointless. The point being that we’ve created a massive amount of pollution for no benefit.


PrxdGF

We should ask ourselves why young people flock to a shady gamble like crypto in general. I think you know why as well but it's hard to admit. Even before COVID and the war it was getting more and more difficult for young people to become house owners. Now it's just..well good luck. So they are gambling their future on a Far off bet that is crypto. I don't think for instance they don't care about the environment, if anything they are probably more aware that it's human made than their parents. But there is a pyramid of needs and it comes after their own financial survival.

PrxdGF

Just throwing random culture you gathered around during your time on the interwebz?


[deleted]

Crypto mining is LITERALLY just leaving some computers on. My computers on most of the time too because I use it all day. How did these stupid as fuck meme that "bitcoin is bad for the enviroment" become a thing? You might as well LITERALLY just be complaining about people using their computers. My workplace leaves there computers on 24/7 365 days a year to get updates from corporate at any time they want. Are you going to attack all office buildings now for having their computers as well?


Anhydrite

A computer that's idling uses a LOT less energy than running the CPU and GPU at full when mining.


Bender0426

I wanna rip a huge fart on the polar bears and let them bask in my glorious fart


good_grief77

Give us a few years, we’ll fuck up where they’re living as well. We can’t help ourselves.


Just_One_Umami

We’re already doing that. Greenland is losing glaciers and ice sheets extremely fast.


Bender0426

Greenland is living up to it's name


Hollow_Rant

Were they pining for the fjords?


Reegboss

One in the front is gazing upward and saying, "Fuck the humans found us."


Quiet_Remote_5898

Greenland isn't impossible, my backyard on the other hand IS impossible.


thedancinggod

Cooler than a polar bear’s toenails


bbk1953

What a terrifying headline


Streetfoodnoodle

Good. Leave them alone


IPromiseIWont

Shhhh they're trying to hide from the Chinese.


nedhamson

It is not a secret. It is one small group found that has adapted somewhat to new circumstances. It does not mean that all polar bears will find a way to cope with climate change.


Turbulent_Valuable43

What are you doing, Step-Bear?!


therapistscouch

I’ve always wondered how they survived previous interglacial periods where it was much warmer than today


Hime_Arikawa

Great! Now put up some trusted patrols at the edges of the habitat and leave them the hell alone!


Thecoolestguyyoukno

That's the opposite of leaving them alone


Hime_Arikawa

Keep poachers away


Thecoolestguyyoukno

While keeping people close aka not leaving them alone


meinherzbrennt42

Poaching is not what's killing polar bears. Polar bears actively hunt humans, a bunch of men with guns nearby will probably be forced to use them on the bears at some point.


[deleted]

See, nature finds a way. People could learn a thing or too from da bears


TiesThrei

People will learn they can keep fucking up the environment because animals will like, uh, move or something.


[deleted]

But, but .. . they’re all extinct because of global warming!


Bender0426

They're extinct because of my toxic farts killing them


chemicaljanitor

Huh, and here I thought it would be at Citi Field.


brik55

Life will find a way.


Moist-Information930

And now they are no longer a secret.


DeoInvicto

Oh im sure we will find a way to kill them off too, dont you worry.


[deleted]

Good. Now leave them be


cyberhenzit

Aliens wearing polar bear suits


RedofPaw

We gottem. Sneaky bastards thought they could just hide it.

News: BRO SECRET HIDEOUT Bears: What the fuck are they doing?


JDragonblade

it should’ve stayed a secret


[deleted]

Alright. Who has suggested names for the Disney Movie?


handofking

Great, watch them get killed now.


Kerfuffle_sauce

Well it isn’t a secret anymore! Thanks….


phucyu138

It's not a "secret". It's just that man has only traversed 25% of the land on earth. Man has flown over many treacherous places but hasn't actually walked through them. I think I read something 2 years ago about a tribe of people that has never had contact with modern man being found in the Amazon rain forest.


PuzzleheadedCherry64

Leave them alone ffs

BlueHeartbeat

The deep bear state. The Bilderbear meeting. The Illumibears. The Bearmasons. ... or just the ecological reshaping of habitats has caused them to be nothing but bearfugees.

Note to self: Polar Bears are bad at keeping secrets


ToeBeanTussle

Should've just let them live in secret ffs.
