bonus fact: The white spots on the back of tigers ears are meant to look like eyes. Many predators only attack when they think you dont see them, so these ear spots protect against suprise attacks from behind.

That is true for polar bears too. Or you can take off your clothes and throw it towards the polar bear and it'll stop and smell it, but then you'll freeze to death since you usually encounter polar bears in very cold climates. Freezing to death may be preferable to being eaten alive though.
