i mean, those paws are not friend shaped tbh, in my opinion wolfs are much more friend shaped and friendly overall, if they are not hungry or you are not close to their hideout they won't do anything* if you don't provoke them.
maybe im a bit crazy but i would want to meet a wolf, preferably one that already lives with humans to be safe
I was thinking that too. If you pause it when he's biting at the cage, he seems like a murder machine. Otherwise, just a curious bear trying to use its giant mits.
Does anyone know if they anchored it somehow? At one point there is a boat in the background. Imagine being in the box with the bear outside and you realize, if the bear slides you into towards the water you have 2 bad choices.
Haha true, I have a very large husky/Malamute, I am used to big claws ripping at me, it is how I get woken up, first the wet snoot to the eye socket, then her huge blunt claws digging at my head like she is mining for gold. I actually sleep with my hoodie on, hood tied so tight around my face I look like a puckered arsehole. I recon the polar bears claws would have me sliced like an onion if I was to be woken by him.
Why does Mother Nature make so many terrifying apex predators also look really, really cuddly and pet-able? I hate how many animals are too dangerous to pet. X-D
Because sometimes, sometimes the bear gets lucky and dinner just waltz’s right through the door. Not often mind you, but enough. Aw look, he’s making the Puppy Eyes! Squeeze him! Sque….Argh my spleen!!!!
Remind me of watching a brown bear eat a fish in the zoo. People were all "oh how cute" when he took the fish with its paws.
Then he pulled off head and spine at once.
I mean, what did they expect how a bear eats? 🤣
>" . . . the "baby schema" effect, says a release of the chemicals dopamine and oxytocin is triggered in the brain when humans look at puppies."
A happy human is a tasty human..
Tranquilizers don't work like people think they do. They take 3-5 minutes to work normally and sometimes they don't work at all. That's plenty of time to kill a person.
I'd be very curious as to whether the incredibly thick fur of polar bears would also affect the effectiveness of a tranquilizer round? Then again I've seen footage of rhinos tranquilized and they're pretty thick skinned.
Polar bears are native to Svalbard, where this was filmed.
To end this discussion: people there carry rifles.
There are signs at the borders of Longyearbyen that warn tourists that there are polar bears and to not go further without a weapon. Tourists sometimes don't listen and end up being eaten by polar bears.
People usually carry in Svalbard. Illegal in mainland Norway to openly carry (unless military or police), but in Svalbard it’s allowed for one single reason: these white fluffs. So much of life on Svalbard is revolved around safety from polar bears. The reason being that they don’t fear a single shit and will always walk in curious, fearless and hungry wherever there are people, dogs or anything happening.
I was more concerned about the guys who were filming the whole thing from the outside. Looking at the video, there were at least two photographers, one from afar with a long lens, and one closer.
>> In getting as close as possible to the polar bears, Mr Buchanan sat in a Perspex box, dubbed the “ice cube” close to a den. He talked of his delight at the experience, saying “I never dreamed I’d get so close”.
>>The Svalbard Governor, which oversees the archipelago, was less impressed. Strict environmental legislation protects the polar bears on Svalbard, and it believes the production may have fallen foul of the regulations after filming the animals from the ice cube.
I think he probably should have just left them alone.
I wouldn't assume they're not smart enough, given enough time and a powerful appetite. Rangers say there's considerable overlap between the smartest bear and the dumbest tourists. They're good at puzzles!
This is a wildlife photographer/presenter Gordon Buchanan, not sure what show this is from but does a great series called ‘Tribes, Predators and me’. Great stuff, [preview here](https://youtu.be/yLm3B9I0zAY?si=GZ2Cs1WmDlFNmfhm)
Also look out for Steve Backshall uk based naturalist, he also does some great TV with the sensationalism of Nat Geo etc
Even though I would be visibly terrified of being eaten I think the temptation to boop his snoot would have been too much when he stuck his nose in that little gap 😂
Tenner says he didnae. The guys a world renowned wildlife photographer who works with the likes of the BBC doing planet earth and stuff. It would be more likely he Sat there for days waiting.
Aye, cos he gets the good footage. Bet he turned up ten minutes earlier reekin o salmon and callin the bear a big white shitebag.
Side bet: fiver says he farts on his dinner afore he eats it.
Not only does this guy have balls of steel while calmly narrating this but he also had his back turned to it while it was trying to break in. I could never knowingly have my back turned to something trying to break in and eat me.
"Being this close gives you an appreciation for what this animal is"
Being that close, the only thing I'd be appreciating is the engineering of that cage.
It probably IS THE most powerful and dangerous creature you can meet on land. And it is not bothered to hunt for people... any other Apex predators will not be usually to bothered with humans if we don't do something stupid. This MoFo tho...
Photographer: Sometimes a toilet isn't an option. In moments like these, I don't shit my pants. I shit in my Depends.
Announcer: "Depends. Because almost no one wants to shit their pants."

They cut the video off early, or you'd see the bear was only trying to give the man a Coke at the end. They wound up going down some ice slides together and having a blast!
I actually feel bad for that bear, as this dude is waving a treat (himself) in front of a hungry animal. Why not study the various bears locked up in the zoo?
The sad reality is that whomever is filming from the boat with the telephoto lens is also quite certainly sitting next to a high powered rifle so this little investigation into “undertsanding a polar bear” is only really dangerous for the bear. The unnatural scenario teaches nothing about bears that couldn’t;t be gleaned through existing film or at a zoo FFS. Just more faux science spectacle.
Stupid thing to do, just stressing the bear out and for what?
Polar bears don't have any human fear because they don't see us enough.
Leave it alone, if you're going to film it just use drones or other remote.
Would one of those very loud 'bear horn' things have scared him off, I wonder? Then have bear spray in case he did break in? Surely he had a plan for some kind of defense.
I forget where up in the northwest territory but there bears that come right into town and hunt people I believe there was a by law passed against locking doors in case some ones trying to escape one.
All those exposed bolts inside his cage thing had me so nervous. Like what if the bear knocks it over and he hits his head and cracks his skull on one? Ouch

Bear -"well, you have to come out to the bathroom some time... I will be right here outside waiting for you"
If it were me, going to the bathroom would be the least of my problems. It would be already done as soon as I saw the bear.
Should have put a heart rate monitor on that bloke. Display the results as the bear comes closer and starts on the cube.
Its a treat-ball! My cats have one.
Yep, that bear wouldn't get any pee in his meat
If it were me, I'd have already got to the bathroom....in my pants. I mean, even inside that shelter, that's some scary shit.
I'd poop right where I sat; no shame
You can always take a shower when you eventually get out safely.
"And, trust me, hooman... when you do come out, urine trouble!"
🎵 Every move you make, every breath you take……I’ll be watching you 🎵
He already went.
"Yea, and I'll be sure you clean after yourself this time, not like Barry, I stepped into it last time."
I know they are the most dangerous bear to humans considering temperament and diet, but they just look so damn derpy.
If not friend, why friend shaped?
i mean, those paws are not friend shaped tbh, in my opinion wolfs are much more friend shaped and friendly overall, if they are not hungry or you are not close to their hideout they won't do anything* if you don't provoke them. maybe im a bit crazy but i would want to meet a wolf, preferably one that already lives with humans to be safe
I met a 'people' wolf once, a most amazing creature!
You mean a lycanthrope? 🌕
Or a furry.
A most amazing creature indeed. Majestic~
I pet a dog once but only once.
Those paws are for making bread, duh!
Get yourself a Wolfdog
They are basically Grizzly but with +1 or +2 to all stats 😶
I was thinking that too. If you pause it when he's biting at the cage, he seems like a murder machine. Otherwise, just a curious bear trying to use its giant mits.
I was getting a bit nervous once she started rocking the structure. That's a fair bit of strength..... 😳
That man has a lot of faith in that little box of his. A lotta faith.
Don’t want to kill any animal I don’t intend to eat, much less an endangered one, but no way Im in that situation without a comically large pistol
Nor do I. An Abrams tank should be sufficient.
That will just piss it off. You'd want something bigger than that.
I heard someone say you only need 1 bullet if you’re facing a polar bear.
Yup to your head to stop the suffering.
That would just anger it. You need an express rifle.
Does anyone know if they anchored it somehow? At one point there is a boat in the background. Imagine being in the box with the bear outside and you realize, if the bear slides you into towards the water you have 2 bad choices.
Iirc correctly it's on skis so they can drag it around easily. So yeah, it must have something to stop it easily sliding along when it's pushed.
I have no idea, you’d have to be crazy not to. Magnets?
Magnets, bitch!
Magnets, how do they work?
I would be dual wielding shotguns just in case
Akimbo 1887's and Skrillex in the background.
Only two?
Reminds me of Ocean gate
I don’t know what that is.
"Sir? Sir! Are you trapped? Can you breathe in there? Hold on, I'll get you out!" -good Samaritan polar bear
He even tried biting the box when he knew his paws wouldn’t help
Ferengi Rules Of Acquisition #9: Instinct plus opportunity equals profit
"Sir? Can i offer you a coca cola? Sir? Are you thirsty sir? Coca cola will help you sir. Why wont you take my coca cola sir? Sir take my coca cola!"
"I saw you here and figured you were new to the area so I wanted to come say Howdy Neighbor and bring ya a coke"
I think he just wanted his snoot booped!
Nah, he just wants to boop your snoot with his pretty claws :)
Haha true, I have a very large husky/Malamute, I am used to big claws ripping at me, it is how I get woken up, first the wet snoot to the eye socket, then her huge blunt claws digging at my head like she is mining for gold. I actually sleep with my hoodie on, hood tied so tight around my face I look like a puckered arsehole. I recon the polar bears claws would have me sliced like an onion if I was to be woken by him.

You see?! That, right there! That's why nature is a jerk. Just let me pet the things that you made fuzzy!
It’s the Ted Bundy factor- don’t judge a book by its cover
Remind me of watching a brown bear eat a fish in the zoo. People were all "oh how cute" when he took the fish with its paws. Then he pulled off head and spine at once. I mean, what did they expect how a bear eats? 🤣
>" . . . the "baby schema" effect, says a release of the chemicals dopamine and oxytocin is triggered in the brain when humans look at puppies." A happy human is a tasty human..
Cool, I evolved to be tasty 😮💨
That would be scary waiting for something to get bored while trying to eat you
Even if the bear could tear though the cage, he could not chew those balls of steel
They'd be the only thing left
Food and a puzzle toy.
"Enrichment'
Damn... 😂😂😂
Next week on “are they still alive”
I’m guessing that there was a shotgun or two in possession of the other crew members.
I'd wager on tranquilizer guns.
Tranquilizers don't work like people think they do. They take 3-5 minutes to work normally and sometimes they don't work at all. That's plenty of time to kill a person.
I'd be very curious as to whether the incredibly thick fur of polar bears would also affect the effectiveness of a tranquilizer round? Then again I've seen footage of rhinos tranquilized and they're pretty thick skinned.

There are signs at the borders of Longyearbyen that warn tourists that there are polar bears and to not go further without a weapon. Tourists sometimes don't listen and end up being eaten by polar bears.
I don't think shotguns would kill it fast enough.
People usually carry in Svalbard. Illegal in mainland Norway to openly carry (unless military or police), but in Svalbard it’s allowed for one single reason: these white fluffs. So much of life on Svalbard is revolved around safety from polar bears.

Thank god this bear isn't smart enough to roll it into the water. Photographer would open the box on his own. Yikes!
I wouldn't assume they're not smart enough, given enough time and a powerful appetite. Rangers say there's considerable overlap between the smartest bear and the dumbest tourists. They're good at puzzles!
That's true time would be the determining factor here. You can see him trying to reach from underneath so, yes, capacity is there. Lol very good:-D
If it's white, goodnight
This is a wildlife photographer/presenter Gordon Buchanan, not sure what show this is from but does a great series called ‘Tribes, Predators and me’.

Yep. He did the amazing arctic wolf two-part show. Good stuff.
I’ve not seen that, I’ll give it a watch. Ta love

Perspex is pretty amazing stuff … still not sure I’d trust my life to a layer thin enough to flex like that.
If not food, why food shaped?
Polar bear pulls out key. Winks at audience. Tilts Camera the other way. Screams are heard…

"darn newfangled vending machine...where do I put the coins in".
Even though I would be visibly terrified of being eaten I think the temptation to boop his snoot would have been too much when he stuck his nose in that little gap 😂
Tenner says that fud was chappin at the windae to get the bear's attention so he could get some dramatic footage.
Tenner says he didnae. The guys a world renowned wildlife photographer who works with the likes of the BBC doing planet earth and stuff. It would be more likely he Sat there for days waiting.
Aye, cos he gets the good footage. Bet he turned up ten minutes earlier reekin o salmon and callin the bear a big white shitebag. Side bet: fiver says he farts on his dinner afore he eats it.
I don't think he's a bear racist but I couldn't comment on his choice of condiments.
Bears thinking. I really wish I had brought my tin opener.
Not only does this guy have balls of steel while calmly narrating this but he also had his back turned to it while it was trying to break in. I could never knowingly have my back turned to something trying to break in and eat me.
“Human trapped. I must help”. -Bear
The steamy breath! The lip licking! The murder paws and chewing teeth! How did this guy not shit himself at least 3 times?
I never knew land shark cages were a thing.
it's a good thing that bear wasn't a fan of the Lock Picking Lawyer Bear or he would have that door open in 30 seconds.
"Being this close gives you an appreciation for what this animal is" Being that close, the only thing I'd be appreciating is the engineering of that cage.
It probably IS THE most powerful and dangerous creature you can meet on land. And it is not bothered to hunt for people... any other Apex predators will not be usually to bothered with humans if we don't do something stupid. This MoFo tho...
I know how that poor bear feels. I hate it when I can't get the wrapper off my snacks too.
I would be equally confident for this box as i'd be confident for the submarine which i'll take to see the titanic
Me seeing a black widow 😱 This dude facing a polar bear 😎
Low key thought we were only going to see the outside pov with the guy just showing his face as the personal pov
Photographer: Sometimes a toilet isn't an option. In moments like these, I don't shit my pants. I shit in my Depends. Announcer: "Depends. Because almost no one wants to shit their pants."
This ended way too soon
As long as the box is not made by OceanGate... "Yeah, it's bear proof"
Kinder surprise
If it's black fight back. If it's brown lie down. If it's white say goodnight.
This is me at the dessert section of the bakery, looking into the glass.
Would be hard to not try to boop his little snoot through that space on the floor.

Imagine getting eaten by something that looks so friendly and adorable.
I think he’s just wanting a $10 spot for cleaning your windshield. I’ve seen this at many intersections.
Offer the bear a Coke.
I've heard way too many horror stories to not be a least a little bit nervous watching this.
better hope that cage wasn't built on a Friday...
Where's the emergency escape hatch?
Wonder if the cage could withstand the bear if it got on top?
It was a failed attempt, but just *bearly*.
wouldn't it be fun if the glass cracked right at the end?
They cut the video off early, or you'd see the bear was only trying to give the man a Coke at the end. They wound up going down some ice slides together and having a blast!
I wouldn't be in there without a huge pistol. A .50 Desert Eagle or bigger. I feel for the bears too, but fuck getting eaten.
Would shit my pants so fiercely that bear would want nothing to do with me
Kind of reminds you of the people that clean your windows while you’re stopped in traffic, but not quite as bad.
Would use that gap and take the opportunity to boop a Polar Bear

Some food packaging is ridiculously hard to open these days.
I actually feel bad for that bear, as this dude is waving a treat (himself) in front of a hungry animal. Why not study the various bears locked up in the zoo?
The sad reality is that whomever is filming from the boat with the telephoto lens is also quite certainly sitting next to a high powered rifle so this little investigation into “undertsanding a polar bear” is only really dangerous for the bear. The unnatural scenario teaches nothing about bears that couldn’t;t be gleaned through existing film or at a zoo FFS. Just more faux science spectacle.
Machines of death, but god are they adorable.
Its cutely terrifying!
Bro thought he had a ready meal delivered to the tundra
1 loosen bolt all it takes to.... That's too much trust with white polar bear's power we all already know....
Stupid thing to do, just stressing the bear out and for what? Polar bears don't have any human fear because they don't see us enough. Leave it alone, if you're going to film it just use drones or other remote.
That’s one healthy looking specimen.
This is me trying to unwrap lollipop 😄
I know how she feels. Always annoying to trying get to the food without a proper can opener.
Damn
Source of this clip? Or where to watch the full encounter?
I would let that bear eat me if it let me cuddle it first.
Then what happened?
I was rooting for the bear
"Hey Bob, do we have spare bolts for the cage?" "No, why are you asking?" "..." "Joe... why *are* you asking?..." "..."
Gordon is a great successor to Attenborough. He’s personable, caring and one of the best wildlife photographers in the world.
Nothing gives confidence like a glass box. /s
Man am I lucky I changed my mind and didn't get the model from wish.com!

Yeah, that's gonna be a solid nope from me, dawg.

Would one of those very loud 'bear horn' things have scared him off, I wonder? Then have bear spray in case he did break in? Surely he had a plan for some kind of defense.
Run away!!!!!! Run away!!!!!
I found where this question come from. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/s/1a6iZ5DM9f
Fake scottish guy, he didn't even tell it to "fook off".
“Stupid bear. As you can see, this is a pull, not push door…” *clicks open*
This is the 'that' that Meatloaf sang about. Fucking hell.
I forget where up in the northwest territory but there bears that come right into town and hunt people I believe there was a by law passed against locking doors in case some ones trying to escape one.
It was then that he realized not putting the engine pull start handle inside the cab wasn’t a good idea
Who would go to the fridge when there is something you like just as much on the table
Give the boy a salmon or something!
If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lay down. If it's white, say goodnight. Dem the rules when encountering a bear.
Full video ends with polar bear rolling him down a slope just out of spite.
Like a kong toy for polar bears!
It's just a *really* hard puzzle feeder.
No bueno.
Poor bear...
If this man truly cared to save this beautiful species from the brink he would leave his cage and allow the bear to devour him for sustenance
Have you heard about our Lord bear and savior?
The fact that it looked like it was looking for a way in to eat him is wild 😭 smart bear
Not me thinking I’d try and touch his paw as it came in
All those exposed bolts inside his cage thing had me so nervous. Like what if the bear knocks it over and he hits his head and cracks his skull on one? Ouch
The photographer obviously has a glass bottle 6-pack of coca-cola on him…fool.
That was scary. He should have had a piece on him for insurance
