Rhymes don't matter if it's a polar bear.
"If it's white, goodnight." is the way I learned it.
So are polar bears considered more dangerous and aggro than grizzlies? I mean it wouldn’t be too crazy, particularly since it’s probably rare to encounter one, compare to grizzlies. But just had never really heard that.
Polar bears don't find food as readily as Grizzly bears. If a Grizzly hesitates on a salmon, it'll find another salmon.
If a Polar hesitates on a penguin, it could starve.
Your point is correct, but for accuracy’s sake penguins live in the Antarctic and polar bears live in the Arctic.
So it’s really unlikely they’ll get a second one in time
Polar bears, because of their location, see everything as food. Black bears and grizzlies, while omnivores, are more specific.
And I feel like I have to say this to counter this weird perception online: black bears and grizzlies do not hunt humans. They generally don't like humans and will stay away. But carry bear spray.
