We will not need to worry about this sort of thing shortly.
Global warming is rapidly killing off all of the polar beards.

Poor, poor, polar bears.

According to Seaworld Parks... “Polar bears are strong swimmers; they swim across bays or wide leads without hesitation. They can swim for several hours at a time over long distances. They’ve been tracked swimming continuously for 62 miles (100 km)”

Don’t worry... They’ll be fine.
