I do have a thing for Polar bears.

But if I'M going to ride in a sled pulled by bears, I want it to look impressive, like the bears pulling the White Witch's sled in Narnia.

That's more like it...bears with teeth!
But that harness....it looks like the bears will slip it off over their heads any minute. A thought as scary as that woman's hair!

Maybe riding a Polar bear would be better, like the girl in the Golden Compass:
Oh yes. Bears with no visible harnesses 'pulling' a medieval... uh....snowmobile? I guess if the bears get too fractious, the armored guy can just fire up the engine and take off without them!
Seriously though, Polar bears can't be tamed enough to pull a sled; they're much too unpredictable. And around dogs...well, you'd normally have to watch out; bears and dogs do NOT get along.
But in one single spot on earth....that's not true.
Check out the first photo on this page, and the following video, of wild Polar bears actually playing with sled dogs...it's amazing!
So, what's your preferred way to ride a Polar bear?
Cool ride...but also, Brrrr!
Maybe I'd want to ride my polar bear in a warmer setting. Like in a Western?
Much warmer...but the saddle just isn't as fun as real polar bear armor!
But when it comes to Polar bears and being transported by them, my all-time favorite vision is the one below:

I love it! :) Sooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable they seem so tame yet wild.
ReplyDeleteYes...but I wouldn't go near them!
ReplyDeleteI'm playing the White Witch in a play - I am SO demanding a polar bear sled! :)
ReplyDeleteMarvelous. Just Amazing. Nice Video. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWho is the artist and what is the name of the polar bear pulling the kids in the sled painting?
ReplyDeletePolar bears have huge and stout feet. By using their big feet, they can easily swim the icy waters of their homes. They use their front paws to swim forward and back paws to alter the direction. They can walk across the snow using their claws. It helps them to walk without sliding and slipping More hints.
