Next thing you know, the “scientists” and “experts” will be surprised that Polar bears poop on the ice!

Well, since the unicorns have left to their magic place, the polar bears had no more rainbows for nourishment.

Because they grew up on a steady diet of Coke commercials that didn’t show them consuming anything else.

I imagine we will eventually hear that they ate all the penguins and that why there isn’t any penguins on the North Pole anymore.

Actually, I think the real question is why polar bears were eating seals and penguins before white people showed up and destroyed the gentle harmony of Gaia.

I thought they just wanted to provide the world with Coca-Cola and sing in harmony.

Why are scientists surprised that polar bears like to eat reindeer and walruses? Because the critters taste good to polar bears?

Surprised? Somebody needs to tell the scientists they could be on the menu too.

Same lot that was surprised that seals and sea otters ate clams, oysters, and crabs.

Because they cant think outside their little global warming box. They know how the world is supposed to be even if the world doesn’t know it.

Because they’re omnivores unless they’re polar bears.
