How do you think the Polar Bear did Against a Wall of Walrus?
A polar bear swims up to an island full of walrus, and it’s very hungry.
When a polar bear is hungry, there’s almost nothing that can stop is from eating, unless that something happens to be a sea of walrus.
Check out his clip from BBC earth and witness the fight of a lifetime as a polar bear tries to breach a wall of walrus in search for lunch.
Filmed in the Arctic, this video showed just how much bravery a hungry polar bear can muster when they need to eat. It was charging right for every walrus it could despite getting nearly stabbed by meter-long tusks.
Did you know that the polar bear is the the world’s largest land carnivore? Even with a title like that, sometimes you come out empty-handed.
Although it was a tough match going against an ever-moving wall of blubber and hide.
SHOCK: Wild Polar Bear pets a sled DOG in Canada
This is the adorable – and extraordinary – moment a wild polar bear pets a chained-up sled dog in the Canadian wilds.
Polar bears weigh 330-990lbs and can easily kill a dog, especially one on a chain. But this footage, shot by David De Meulles of Manitoba, shows the bear gently stroking the placid animal on the head.
‘I had no idea what was going to happen, and then sure enough he started petting that dog, acted like he was a friend,’ De Meulles told CBC. I just so happened to catch a video of a lifetime.’
De Meulles was taking tourists to see polar bears when they came across the dogs, chained up on the property of local man Brian Ladoon.
Ladoon breeds the rare sled dogs, which are impervious to the cold – and clearly fearless too.
At first, the bear towers over the chained animal, which placidly lies at its feet.
But then the beast reaches out tenderly with its right paw and gently – if clumsily – brings it down over the dog’s head.
It sniffs the dog, which has barely reacted, and pets it again, more confidently this time. Then it switches to its left paw and begins rubbing the dog’s head.
At this point the pooch, apparently slightly irritated by its wild companion, stands up and begins to walk off – forcing the bear, which has the dog’s chain wrapped around its front legs – to back off too.

There have been ‘scares’ with polar bears, he says, but the ‘primitive and fearless’ dogs keep the nasty bears in their place.
And, it seems, reward the nice ones with a little playtime.
