    Gonna be honest, no idea how he’s got the guts to do that; as I’ve heard, polar bears are the most powerful predators on earth. I’d satisfy myself to MAYBE throw some food to a side; but I’m still not entirely comfortable with the thought of any part of my person being outside my nice metal mobile shield.

      tanks have been more powerful than polar bears since at least the 1920s

        Only half of him is in the tank though, and the other half is within bite and yank distance

      I’m pretty sure Eastern Europeans see bears as potentially dangerous but usually harmless wildlife, like raccoons or foxes. Being in a tank certainly helps!

        I don’t think I do that.

            I don’t do it as a joke either. Aproaching bears is serious buisiness.

        in a biological sense, i don’t think the limited tool use of the thing in your picture counts.

      That’s why northern wear is always so big, plush, and cushy!

      Imagine having to squeeze into a tank that barely has enough room for a regular person while also wearing like 5 layers of natural fibres and furs.

    Now that those polar bears know where the treats are, they’re going to try to break into parked tanks they find in order to access all the goodies inside them.
