Polar Bear Begging for Food, Churchill, Manitoba, Canada

[Abdulmarcos]

Oh, please feed him for Christ's sake!

[drifter12345able]

@Brigette00 Well thats not the case for most polar bears. all they need to wait for is the ice to freeze so they can go hunting for seals. if we feed them it is only going to make them dependant on us for food and will ultimately kill them.

If you like this sample clip, please consider watching the complete free video it comes from, a pairing of two trips that begins in New Mexico, followed by Churchill. It's entitled "Polar Bear Pueblo". You need a broadband internet connection. Ask a search engine for: Intrepid Berkeley Explorer

It's in one of the more recent Polar Bear books, but a chapter on the Tundra Buggy enterprise included an anecdote in which a bear in just such an adorable pose suddenly reared up and filleted the arm of a passenger who had been about to toss him something.

Does anyone know if there are polar bears in northern ontario?

[pythag123]

only right by Hudson's, its too warm these days for them to travel as far south as ontraio

[Love4SK]

they are in Ontario too, we toured James bay on a school trip and saw them from our boat, amazing

[ryanfskater]

how would you know? have you been up to the northern tip of ontario and searched for polar bears? lol i doubt it. And btw you made your self sound like an idiot by saying your from Toronto, like thats close to northern ontario or something.. not tryin to be rude, just honest

[2dikkak]

Save the environment, don't take away his food! Poor polar bear, I want the future generation to be able to see this wonderful animal.

[pythag123]

yeah i want to see polar bears rip the fins off slow baby seals with my kids, looking in a book won't be good enough!

[austincitylimits123]

totally agree

[menari123]

polar bear is a majestic animal.

[austincitylimits123]

if you feed a bear it will keep comming back expecting more food when it cant find more food the bears will follows the scent back to town and that can be dangerous for both people and bear.

[OliI0305]

Did you feed him?

[intrepberkexplorer]

Feeding the Polar Bears is prohibited. I never saw anyone feed a bear. Yet several bears acted as if they expected food from the tundra buggies. In nature Polar Bears don't even eat at this time; waiting for Hudson's Bay to freeze so they can go hunting for seals at air holes on the ice.

[OliI0305]

Why do they prohibit it? Are they concerned the bears will become dependant upon it?

I was also wondering what the hunting laws are on the bears? Is there a ban yet?

[intrepberkexplorer]

The bears are clearly protected from hunting. The ban on feeding is to keep then wild. The worst bear crime is entering the town of Churchill. That leads to the bear jail, whose inmates are released to the ice after it freezes.

[smoothbrother69]

u also do not want these large predatory animals becoming accustom to associating people with food.

[austincitylimits123]

i know this post was a year ago but yes its noww banned. they are officually on the endangured species list. even up north its eligal

[highoctane156]

actually, a rug would be nicer--

[smialy753]

you are a sick bastard....!

[austincitylimits123]

if ur comment is directed towards another comment ignor this. but if its for the video, it is elligal to feed them A: they will keep comming back to that spot hoping for more food.B: it is dangerous to stick your hands out of the tundra buggy because it could grab you. if its hungry you wont be walking out of there alive

[LenoraDragon]

They're doing whatever it takes to not starve and survive. This is actually quite sad that people want them to go to this limit just for a little mockery of the species.

[toastergrin420]

it looks all sad like my dog when he wants food. haha.

[TenGrand10000]

you are stupid, polar bears are wild animals that should stay in the wild

i hope you try to catch one and it eats your face off

[jetblackcat11111]
