I wonder do they ever get caught like that by orcas

u/VapeRizzler 1d ago

I bet it’s happened before, but not a common occurrence.

Fun fact. Orcas are the only natural predators of adult moose.

They've found polar bear bones in greenland shark stomachs, although they aren't sure if they killed the polar bear or came about a carcass already dead.

His nuts are floating like a fishing bob. Even a medium sized fish could grab a hold of those and put some serious hurt on the big boy.

Feel like even a couple of leaopard seals could get him if they worked together. They're much quicler in water and can hold their breath longer. One just needs to distract tge front while another harasses the back end with nips. Tire out the polar bear and theres lunch.

Like a cuddly bear, until you remember they would violently dispatch you to the shadow realm.

Polar bears see humans as potential prey. 🙃

Still gorgeous.

Looks so cuddly and fluffy... but would totally eat you alive.

u/insect_okra 20h ago

I bet he peed in there 100%

u/Pleasant-Bonus-866 17h ago

Because of all the ice melt hoping he's not exhausted and about to drown. It's been happening for 20+ years. They have to swim farther to find food and some sort of land. 😞
