Cute Cuddly Little Bear!

Anybody who has any knowledge of bears, and especially polar bears, knows a few honest truths about the animals.

• They are BIG
• They are POWERFUL
• They are always HUNGRY
• They don't have much of a SENSE OF HUMOUR
• Anything smaller than them is FOOD
• They are usually pretty grumpy

If you are in northern Canada and see a polar bear, and it sees you, and comes over to investigate, you'd better hope you have high powered rifle with you. Drop the damned thing before it gets too close (they are very fast too). When Les Stroud, brains behind the survival series Survivorman, went into the Arctic for a week, he was given a rifle. He's not supposed to have much in the way of gear, but the Canadian authorities wouldn't let him go without one. The bears are that much of a threat to human saftey.

When I ran across these pictures, I was shocked. To be sure, this is a one off, and probably hasn't happened before and will probably never happen since. The pictures show a curious polar bear playing with a sled dog. PLAYING. I guess this bear had a full stomach, and wanted to cuddle up to a cute furry little 120lb dog. These pictures show the bear and dog playing together like dogs play! Just incredible. I hope you all enjoy these pictures as much as I did.
