… That polar bears are all left-handed? And that the female polar bear would rather build the den in “old snow” from previous years than freshly fallen snow?
An adult polar bear can weigh between 227 -272 kilograms (500-600 pounds), but a polar bear baby only weighs about half a kilogram (about one pound) when born.

Some of things that are done and money that is spent to determine things that have no bearing on anything – like the sex habits of ants and a zillion other things – what good does it do to know that bears are left-handed? Okay, maybe bears are cool, but some of the other things I’ve read are pretty rediculous.

I found it so funny to read this! I wonder how much it actually matters and also: what if they have only studied left handed polar bears and all the right handed ones got away????

Perhaps my boys were polar bears in their past lives? They’re both left handed. Some male polar bear can be 700 kg (1,500 pounds). Love the facts! š

I love polar bears. Would love to see them in their natural habitat. We do have some that came from Hudson Bay area very far north that were rescued after mom was killed and although I hate to see them caged I do get that they now have a chance to live. The Zoo has a huge, huge habitat for them and I do mean huge so at least that is nicer. I do have to admit I love to watch them it is magical swimming overhead.

I guess they had another chance and although they are caged, it beats the alternative…

Great post. My first reaction was to think about the old adage: “sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you” followed quickly by a search to see if the Eskimos actually did put granny out on the ice as bear fodder. This was probably the most interesting of the results. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2160/did-eskimos-put-their-elderly-on-ice-floes-to-die
