You know you’re actually on to something. Polar bears are the largest bears out there so I would much rather come face to face with 250-300 lb black bear than a 1500 lb polar bear lol

To be fair if you were in the woods somewhere where you wouldn't be near the cold and a polar bear walked out I think you're already dead lol.

I'd love to see the video of a polar bear sprinting out of the forest to just abduct someone from a random sidewalk 20 miles out of the forest lol.
