    The bear in the mural does not look tall enough to look in a second story window. Is that a young one?

    Bear is black, fight back.

    Bear is brown, turn around.

    Bear is white, say good night.

      Also.

      Some black bears are brown.

      Some brown bears are black.

      Good luck everyone.

    Also, one of the few animals that will hunt humans for food

      Can’t blame them. They’re running out of options.

      • Geetnerd@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        It would.

        Off on a tangent, but relevant, I recently watched a video from a big cat trainer, and he stated that lion and tiger cubs are absolutely lethal at the age of 6 months. They can literally play with you to death.

    Your survival time would depend on how far apart you and the bear are, how’s fast you can run, and how angry or hungry the bear is.

    • idiomaddict@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      Polar bears hunt even when not hungry because of the general scarcity of food in their environment

    Do not – and I really cannot stress this enough – give any of those bears cocaine

    Fun fact: Grizzlies and Polar Bears are the same species according to the Biological Species Concept.

    Meaning they interbreed in the wild (somewhat rare), and produce viable offspring that can have babies as well.

    We’re actually noticing this happening more and more with climate change. As Grizzly populations move further and further north, they’re encountering polar bears more often and are more likely to mate.

    • Dasus@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Biologists wouldn’t say they’re the same species, because biologists are aware of interspecies hybrids and the species problem.

        The number of confirmed hybrids has since risen to eight, all of them descending from the same female polar bear

        She has a type.

      There are tons and tons and tons of species that can do this. It’s not clear to me what the prevailing species concept is nowadays, if we’re even still following one.

      source
    • Geetnerd@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      In the near future, Polar Bears as a separate species will likely disappear, and we’ll have all hybrids.

      Calling something a “second storey” just sounds weird, although at least because they spelt it “story” we know they mean in the US sense.

    • v_krishna@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Is the US the first floor is the ground floor, second floor is what is called the 1st floor in many other countries

        Or “Zeroth Floor”.

    Motorcycle helmets are purposefully not-hard. Odd comparison.

      But they are pretty thick, since that means more impact-absorbing foam.

    is the fear of this bear why we’re so intent in melting the icecaps?

    Why’s the black bear so sad?

      It’s forced to play the humiliating role of smallest by comparison.

      the grizzly is telling him “Ah, Jesus. I wish you could see this. Light’s coming up. I’ve never seen a painting that captures the beauty of the ocean at a moment like this. I’m gonna make you rich, Bud Fox. Yeah. Rich enough, you can afford a girl like Darien. This is your wake-up call, pal. Go to work.”
