Polar Bear Throws A Rock Breaking Window at the Zoo

Polar Bear get's ANGRY and throws a large ROCK cracking his own enclosures glass. Captivity must suck....

Two visitors at Rotterdam Zoo have captured the moment a polar bear almost shatters a submerged pane of glass in his enclosure with a rock.

The two men, filming the side of the bear's enclosure, capture the animal swimming around before they are caught by surprise as a rock thunders against the glass.

Fortunately for the men, the pane was strong enough not to shatter. The arctic beast has been relocated to a different pen while the glass is repaired.

The young polar bear, bizarrely named Vicks after the company 'adopted' the cub when he was born, is described by the zoo as "playful" and enjoys playing with stones, making it likely he was simply playing around with rocks rather than attempting a daring escape from his enclosure.

Vicks was born at the Rotterdam Zoo in December 2010 to his mother Olinka. He became something of a national celebrity when 420,000 people watched the early months of his life on a webcam feed in his darkened maternity den.

поставят поверх еще одно такое же, загерметизируют, после чего выймут разбитое

Of course the rock's mass isn't reduced underwater, but it is easier to pick up underwater than in air because water is denser than air.

Perhaps my experience has only involved objects with SOME buoyancy, and a solid rock will have NO buoyancy, in which case, soo sorry.

How did the polar bear know that rock breaks glass?

[allison mite]

the vid is fake cause wen it "throws" the rock it takes 10 sec to see it broken
