Fun fact: Polar bears see people as food.

[@6Angello1]

Very fun 😍

[@JohnWickkkk]

Delicious 😋

[@MaceBeats]

100% Fact, *0% Fun*

[@Warcraze13]

A lot of predators see people as food. The difference is, we are on the polar bears predatory list. Like this means they view humans as food regardless of whether you provide willingly or not.

[@sparrenburger2804]

Ok, it is absolutly crazy to do this. But how gently one of the bears took the food out of his hand - unbelievable!

[@SupernaturalBeingsofEarth]

[@IsaacNussbaum]

That astonished me too, SB. I kept expecting the bear to skip the appetizer, pull the man overboard, and go straight to the main course.

[@Bluenose352]

He/she appeared to be a Juvenile, judging by the size. Very curious, a little more gentle, but very hungry.

[@sparrenburger2804]

Bluenose352 I don't think so. Look at 1:00 there she looks tall enough to be an adult one. Not a teen but maybe a twen. 😉

[@Bluenose352]

Sparren Burger Yes. Even the Bear in the beginning had a bigger, adult skull size. You're right. The one that took the Salmon seemed a bit younger. Seemed smaller. I'm still getting used to the sizes of Male vs Female Polar Bears.

Hi, this was filmed in 1988. At this time there were no regulations about feeding polarbears in Svalbard. Today there is another story.

[@IpostedaCoDvideoonce]

Without purpose. Feeding or not, it doesn't impact the bears behaviour. There is a ban on seeking contact with polar bears, that's all. Try to avoid contact, if the bear sees you in the open, shoot it or get eaten alive, they often start in the stomach / back area.

[@Bluenose352]

It should be common sense. No matter what decade. You hand feed a wild animal, it'll expect more from that hand.

This is an apex predator. It’s accustomed to seeing living beings as either food or an adversary (ie; another polar bear).

+Aaron Cruz There are no polar bears in Antarctica ;-)

[@1BeGe]

+Soltan Ahmadli - That really just doesn't apply to polar bears. They basically have no innate fear of humans anyway, they already come romping towards humans the moment they see them (intending to eat them). This contrasts with most bears that avoid people (or at very least human settlements) and then become a danger once they learn to come to people for food. Since polar bears don't avoid humans in the first place you're not actually hurting anything by feeding them. Not helping anything...but not hurting anything either. If anything teaching them that if they don't eat the humans right away they might get other kinds of food might be of minor benefit.

[@kmvenezia4337]

Anytime humans feed bears, the bears become accustomed with equating people with food. It messes with the order of nature and makes it more likely that the bears will seek humans more often than not, and always expecting to be fed. This happened in Yellowstone park and generations of bears lost their instinct to hunt. Consequently a few generation of bears had to be fed everyday at a garbage dump until they weaned them from being fed. It wasn't an easy thing to do either. This is why in Yellowstone it is against the law to feed the bears. By the way see the comment below this one.
