Polar Bear: I come in peace

Stuart Brown describes Norbert Rosing's striking images of a wild polar bear coming upon tethered sled dogs in the wilds of Canada 's Hudson Bay:

The photographer was sure that he was going to see the end of his dogs when the polar bear wandered in, but

The Polar Bear returned every night that week to play with the dogs.

Maybe they saw the sled dogs as odd-looking baby polar bears? In any case, the last photo shows that the bear let the dog win the play fight, cause animals generally don’t expose vulnerable areas like their bellies or throats if they’re not playing or expressing submission.

Bears can be quite friendly and playful, though I'd never want to get close to one. I remember seeing photos of a grisly bear in a zoo or refuge that was being visited by a cat, and they were great friends.

I blame global warming.

Of course, it could be bear hormones.

Thanks CholeraJoe. :’)

The e-mail is circulating again. I am always sceptical of these emails though.
