Gonna be honest, no idea how he's got the guts to do that; as I've heard, polar bears are the most powerful predators on earth. I'd satisfy myself to MAYBE throw some food to a side; but I'm still not entirely comfortable with the thought of any part of my person being outside my nice metal mobile shield.
imagine the person getting out of the tank to take the picture tho
tanks have been more powerful than polar bears since at least the 1920s
Only half of him is in the tank though, and the other half is within bite and yank distance
I'm pretty sure Eastern Europeans see bears as potentially dangerous but usually harmless wildlife, like raccoons or foxes. Being in a tank certainly helps!
I don't think I do that.
It's just a joke.
in a biological sense, i don't think the limited tool use of the thing in your picture counts.
