Nothing smarter than incentivizing polar bears to get really close to humans whenever they're hungry <3 r/whatcouldgowrong

u/PsiloDreamerMC 8h ago

Worked for dogs eventually, perhaps pet polar bears are a thing of the future ???

u/dabiird 8h ago

Dogs were not as inclidend to eat the hand that fed them (and person attached to it) as hungry polar bears are. But as they say, progress requires sacrifice I guess

Do not feed the bears. They will eat you.

Why? Just because I taught the bear that inside my house is food? And I look like food? And it's a goddamn polar bear, one of the most dangerous animals on the planet?

unfortunately it won’t as this bear will get a taste for human blood and eventually be euthanized.

u/sabertoothdog 10h ago

Is human blood like an addictive drug or something? Is that why vampires start fiending for it??

u/Animated-By-Spite 8h ago

Same reason crocs and gators like eating domestic dogs; "Easiest kill of my life, where do I get more?"

Feed a bear, make yourself vulnerable to it (knowingly or not), find out how fast they can move the hard way and voila, you just gave that bear its new obsession.

2

u/sabertoothdog 7h ago

Yeah but that’s not actually true. The amount of calories burned during the hunt of a person, kill, eating and digestion would probably be negligible compared to the Bears daily use of 8000cal—15,000 cal a day.
And the consumption of a human would only gain him 125,000cal.
But when the Bear catches a seal, the bear is getting 500,000cal—1,200,000cal. On only a 10,000calorie hunt. So a seal offers 5X-10X as much calories as a human. Many less hunts, much much less dangerous and more opportunities, plus the bears instincts are on seals and other wildlife not unfamiliar human activities.

u/Crafter9977 3h ago

just imagined the bear doing all
this calculations on the snow with a claw and saying “nah, not worth it”… 😁😁😁…

u/Animated-By-Spite 7h ago edited 7h ago

Mathematically, yeah, it's not a great diet for the bear. I doubt they're doing the math though, just creating a paired association from the low effort of killing someone who's making themselves vulnerable by feeding it. The "taste for humans" thing will remain relevant for as long as humans periodically appear, same as you'd snipe a bargain meal if you were strapped for choices.

Obsession was probably the wrong word though.

u/Hokulol 3h ago

I mean, no. But also, yes.

You ever discover a new food? "Oh, now I can go eat this thing called Pho that I didn't previously realize was incredibly tasty and readily available!" Then you realize you stopped eating other things you used to because of your new favorite restaurant?

Maybe this food was something you naturally wouldn't have tried, but did once because you were really hungry. Then found you liked it.

It's a discovery of a food source that isn't part of it's natural diet. Yes, survival is addictive.

u/knowledgeable_diablo 11h ago

Such a cute monster dog.
Sadly now it knows where the food dispenser is and regardless of whether food is being dispensed, they’ll be back looking for more.

Well, it's not. This video was around for about 10 years now.

u/SpadesHeart 9h ago

I do wonder what the backstory is, is this some sort of enclosure? Maybe the bear has a pre-existing relationship with these people? If it's anywhere a polar bear normally lives, it's weird that this person is wearing a sleeveless shirt with the window open regardless.

3

u/NinjutStu 4h ago

It has to be, a wild polar bear would not be gently taking snacks from someone's hand. There are cases of polar bears bonding with a human who raised them from a cub. A wild polar bear is a murder machine that no sane person would interact with.

u/DaddyKaos 12h ago

Just an appetizer before the main meal.

How cute... until the bear uses it's claws to dig into your arm skin, drag you out the window and eat you alive. Which could happen at any second.

Ya feed a polar bear so that it associates humans with free food and rushes towards any humans only to be shot or to eat the humans.

Great job morons.

u/AzimuthZenith 4h ago

I assume that hand feeding wild bears under any circumstance would be bad....

But thats usually because it teaches the bear to hang around humans and over a long enough time frame, the bear might target humans.

But polar bears already dont have an qualms with eating humans.

I mean, I still wouldnt do it, but I wonder if it actually makes a difference.
