Polar Bear Question
Hello! I recently read a couple non-fiction books that included several encounters between polar bears and humans. Each encounter was peaceful and did not end with the bear becoming a vicious, unstoppable, man-eater. My knowledge of polar bears lies somewhere between jack and shit. Pop culture has taught me that any encounter between a person and a polar bear results in instant and brutal death of the person.
I guess what im asking is, has pop culture lied to me?? Has it misrepresented this species for entertainment reasons? Does anyone who actually knows about polar bears know if theyre actually not guaranteed to attack on site?
