Who's holding on to the other end of that chain? :eep:

[Watser?]

I dunno, but it looks like he/she is chain-free in the last picture

[livius drusus]

Maybe the bear got rid of it for him. :giggle:

[godfry n. glad]

Who's holding on to the other end of that chain? :eep:

He's chained to a spike driven into the snow/ice.

I hope those pix were taken with a very long telephoto lens.

I saw the most interesting program about polar bears.

One lay next to a seal hole,
perfectly still, half submerges in slushy, icy water, for six hours
or better, just waiting. When the seal came up, the show was on.
Amazing.

On reflection ... and with some surprise ... I think the time has come when we don't absolutely need the smilie "polar bear gromping dog (with or without chomping and blood)". Emotartists, take a rest.

[livius drusus]

Woohoo!
:wolf:

[Miisa]

Doesn't anybody care that the last picture has a different dog?

Slutty polar bear, if you ask me.

[JoeP]

Slutty? I think he'd just finished the first one, that's all. You have a dirty mind, Miss M.

[Miisa]

It is a promiscuous bear, I'm telling you!

[Shelli]

uh huh...
:hm:

I'm guessing it's a female polar bear. Maybe she recently lost her cub(s).

It's not all that unusual for female mammals who have young offspring (or who have recently lost an offspring) to "adopt" smaller mammals and attemp to treat them like their own kids. Apparently, when you're just full of post-partum hormones, anything that's fuzzy and about the size of one of your offspring is likely to trigger your maternal instincts big time -- especially if you've recently lost your own young.

We had a cat who used to bring home rabbits and squirrels fairly often. When she wasn't nursing kittens, the rabbits and squirrels came home in pieces, but when she was nursing, she'd often bring home live bunnies or squirrels. She'd attempt to "adopt" and nurse the baby rabbits or squirrels she brought home.


Or maybe the polar bear is young and recently separated from its mother and/or siblings. In that case, it may be "lonely" and seeking companionship.

Cheers,

Michael

Oh, a little bunny rabbit! Just what I always wanted! I will name him George and I will hug him and kiss him and squeeze him and rub his pretty bill and caress his pretty feathers... wait a minute George, rabbits don't have feathers ands bills...
