Especially as the bear nearly didn't flinch at the current. Once it gets used to it, it should be able to ignore it just as a human can if deciding so after a little practice. This is why you should always be at least two people in polar bear country so that the stronger guy can give the weaker guy to the bear. :-)

[@MoringAfterStar]

they're also one of the only animals that will actively hunts human, most animals that have killed a human have done it out of desperation, self-defense or a chance encounter. Polar Bears will hunt for humans once they get a taste for them, they will track down and in some cases return to where they killed humans before looking for more to eat. once they do this they seem to prioritize hunting humans and there are famous polar bears researchers will actively avoid because of their exposure to humans. they are beautiful creatures but i wouldnt go near one unless its separated from me by many steel bars and possibly firearms.

[@MY-bw2nb]

A word of caution run 2 fence lines 10 to 20 feet apart the reason for this is and i know from experience that when the wildlife or in my case livestock get shocked they get spooked and a good 75 percent of the time they will bolt through the fence this is why you should have a second fence. It also states in the manual that electric fencing should not be used as a primary fence so in your situation not feasible to have a main fence so 2 runs work for your safety because sooner or later when they smell something they like they will be determined just like livestock thinking there is something better on the other side. The higher the joules of fencers the better i use a 50 jule fencer when I go camping up north in bush if you'd ever been cornered by a grizzley or pack of wolves you'd understand its not the animals fault they just follow their nose to food

The Bear could be easily confused and go right through the fence and have a field day with you.

Regularly he would just "bull" through the fence, there seemed no stopping him from getting access to our nice, lush green manicured grass...after 3 years of this I finally sold the property (formerly a 9-hole golf course on the Klamath River) and moved away from this one-ton tank... ... ... ... ... ... ...

DO NOT rely on this or think this makes you "safe" by any means. I was out camping 7 years ago and tried doing this whole electric fence mumbo jumbo... we had two fences... this MASSSIVE polar bear knew the fences were electric without even having to touch them, he obviously had dealt with them before... my friend was watching the bear walk up and down the fence, getting hungrier and hungrier, so to tease it, my friend started cooking grilling sausages and steaks... laughing, holding a bud light in one hand and grilling with the other, laughing, sautéing onions, the smell wafering in the wind with the smell of cooked meat, butter and onions... suddenly I wanted from 20 yards away as the bear started to walk away from the fence... turn around... and almost in slow motion, he started building up speed... getting a "running start"... he jumped over BOTH fences like he didn't give a F, landed on the other side, and before me or my friend could reach for our rifles, the bear killed him in a single bite of the throat, and started walking towards me, it took everything I had, and more, to come to grips with what i just witnessed, i grabbed my rifle, and began firing round after round after round into the bear... he just... kept... coming, so i made my retreat, and took off, and as i turned around to look, i watched as the bear gobbled up what was left of my friend... it still haunts me to this very day.... this is "not a cool video showing how a camp is protected" from bears... don't give people the impression that a hungry bear wont just leap over the fence.. you'd be SUPRISED at what they can do... 2 years after that I took another friend camping and we had three electric fences up, and 3 bears came up to the fence, one pushed the other into the fence, climbed on top of him and jumped over the other two fence and gobbled up my friend before we could even scratch our nose... and since then I have come to grips with the fact that ELECTRIC fences do not work. but flame throwers work wonders on polar bears. just trust me on this. always take a flame thrower.

Do "other measures" include at least two heavy rifles and someone awake at all times?
