just a note: they don’t hunt humans. they are opportunistic and will include humans in their food supply if necessary. polar bears typically avoid people like other bears.
Yeah this one certainly doesn't look like it's hunting at all - not saying it wouldn't attack him if it could get to him, but it seems a lot more curious than aggressive.
I remain skeptical. At the risk of anthropomorphizing, why would a hunting bear be "angry"?
As the dude in the video says, this is more or less what they do with seals.
I was more like why is the guy there. Because I don't know the answer can't make a definitive judgement on the case. If it was just to watch a bear struggle with a cage yea fuck that. If it was to document something that is undocumentable in any other way, that is more respectable.

How do the two different in appearance, in polar bears?
Dashi@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 244d
Angry growl vs questioning growl. Two totally different growls. I'm sure there is a community around here that could go into more detail for you.

With such scarce food up there, isn't it always a good time to eat if it's just a single human?

Oh look a fresh human, no one has even opened his packaging yet!

Puts human in bear habitat, gets surprised the bear shows interest. Calls it "bear hunting human".
Lols.
Lommy@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 245d
Yeah, it kinda made me feel bad. It's probably hungry af and thought it finally found some food. As i recall it's not that easy to find for them.

The bear should just sleep next to it. The guy has to come out sometime.

If it's black; fight back

WHY ARE THEY SO CUTE THEN?
elvis_depresley@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 244d
I think it's because they have no facial muscles, so they can't show emotion through facial expressions.
somegeek@programming.dev · 1 pts · 243d
Nah their body language, shape, white fur and button eyes, paws, everything about them is cute

I don't know, that bear just wasted quite a bit of energy in an environment where it really matters.
Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 245d
True, but would you have rather him killed and eaten the guy in the box?

He'd set up to film near a hole in the ice where seals pop up to take a breath, but the polar bear took an interest in him instead.
Avicenna@programming.dev · 2 pts · 244d
thanks in that case yea bad luck, glad he was in a cage
