Standing up,the big ones are as tall as an elephant. They can smell prey 30km away. They have the strength to pull a 2ton walrus out of the water while standing on ice. And they are active year round, they don't hibernate like other bears. Think the guys shooting the video aren't armed. You never go into polar bear territory without a high powered rifle, even pilots of supply planes and helicopters carry rifles with them in case they go down.
Think again you two (zito510&sp2001), these are the largest carnivores on the planet. The big ones can be over 10ft in length and weight more than a 1000lbs. They are one of the few predators that actively hunt humans and are powerful enough to bring down any prey it wants. Think it's cute...think it won't attack...wrong!...i've spent three years in the artic...one thing they tell you is NOT to mess with these creatures. To them we are a nice light snack.
They don't "actively hunt" for humans! In fact very FEW polar bear attacks on humans have EVER been reported. Although it is true that wild carnivores will attack you if you get too close, it's not fair to portray polar bears as blood thirsty villians. They have to eat meat to survive; they're not "evil" creatures by any means.

Damn he does'nt seems scared at all at least it was a young one.. I mean i would see a bear that close to me i would want to have a weapon with me for sure ^^
Yeah it might look like it wont attack.. that's the biggest mistake you could ever imagine... maybe it's their way to lure in food and then strike and kill it. Never go near a bear any kind of bear not even a koala they will kill and eat you!
forgot about ole Mopby Dick. lol
