Lucky in the extreme sense of the word... The bear looks young though. A full grown adult would have destroyed her with ease.

Still... I see no proof of Global Warming in that video. It looks like an escaped captive juvenile Polar Bear from it's actions in that clip.

Attacked by a polar bear and then having your trousers fall down on video, pretty bad day.

It could very well be a population issue. No predators you see. A NatGeo program I saw once indicated that they had been having problems with polar bears digging around in Canadian landfills for some time.

And likewise around here and in general on the east coast, we have a continual problem with black bears. Again, no predators.

population issue ? like over population you mean ? are you aware their numbers are down ? and with ice melting,obviously "not due to global warming", they have less places to hunt and stalk seals ? it was also on NatGeo.

Because she looked like either food or a threat. The same reasons why any animal will attack something.

The problem is the ice cap is melting away so the polar bears have to hunt on land.

No. But I can tell you unequivocally, it was NOT because of Global Warming. LOL

Does that site play an ad before the video starts? No video plays there for me in either IE or FF so must be my ad blocker causing it.

Maybe there is talk about that mythical place "Antarctica" among polar bears? Or maybe, while ransacking some shack in northern Canada (or eating an Ice Road Trucker) some bears found books about Shackleton? They could very well be on their great march south for all we know.... wink

Polar bears in urban areas (and Up North "urban" = "podunk town") is an old issue, and related more to easy meals than Global Warming.

Let's say you're a polar bear and have the option of A) doing the whole Marine Mammal thing, swimming and walking hundreds of miles in search of air holes used by seals and risking life and limb on a regular basis or B) hanging around a human settlement and getting food by way of their garbage with zero effort and minimal risk, which would you do?

Adolescent and very old bears go after humans and anything else seen as easy game because they're marginalized in the competition for food; the former because it is routinely challenged as a mating competitor and the latter because it is challenged off of its ranking for resources by younger adults.

Casuality is NOT causation.

They can smell potential prey 30 miles away.

Bears have keen senses. They are also incredibly fast. And Blade, the issue has to do with a problem of local population control. Not necessarily overall numbers.

The NatGeo program this was featured on had fairly self evident video where several were shown tearing through a landfill and causing a general ruckus amongst the local inhabitants. I rather doubt they were motivated by majestic notions of climate change. Bears in general will eat anything they find appetizing, including you or I. eek

Polar bear evolved as a subtype of brown bear some 150,000 years ago. They happily survived previous interglacial, which was rather warmer than present interglacial, which was on average still warmer than today.



What more, Arctic was as "warm", even warmer as today just in 1940s.
