Several years ago a couple of kids on a class trip in NYC hid out after the trip was over. One of the kids decided to go swimming in the polar bear encloser.

They found his remains the next day.

But she did invade his home and head straight for him, that’s threatening behavior and he acted accordingly.

Bear thought she was an orca.

Reading the article, its interesting only one of the four bears attacked her. And the one that did is pretty clearly sending "stay away - threat" body language.

“The bear probably wasn’t trying to eat her, he’s well fed anyway. But she did invade his home and head straight for him, that’s threatening behavior and he acted accordingly.”

That is what I was thinking, but would appreciate being educated by any bear experts here.

Interesting.

Thanks.

He would have, but liberals just don't taste that good.

Polar Bears They don’t act anything like they do in their Coca-Cola commercials.

I hadn't thought of that. Coca-Cola better get their attorneys ready for the upcoming lawsuit.

Got that sturdy Deutsche look, doesn’t she? Good thing she had all that fat for buoyancy, else she’d have sunk like a rock.

A lot of Germans take that “green” environmental crap a little too far. Gaia has set up traps for them everywhere. Many of these morons fall into one of them all of the time. Dorks! Dining with polar bears is not a very good idea.

I call that the Walt Disney syndrome. After her swim she probably tried to put a ballerina dress on a Hippo.

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black person involved in these periodic stories of morons jumping into zoo enclosures.

I guess they’re not so cute and cuddly anymore.

Where’s PETA?

"This is the terrifying moment a woman was attacked by a polar bear after jumping into its zoo enclosure."

Let's keep the story honest: if you willingly offer yourself as food to a predator, you HAVE NOT been "attacked".

Y’all know good and well that thang’s gonna try and eat you, too. Some of us appear to have lost our common sense, or maybe never had it to begin with, lol.
