Credits to Paul Nicklen. He was massive.
Later, while assessing his paw prints, I could stand with both feet in my size 10 winter boots inside one of his paw prints. In Inuktitut, Tumiit means paw prints and I love how I have always followed in the tracks of these nomadic carnivores.

Polar bears outside their natural habitat usually many times smaller than they really are. Could those polar bears be newly brought from the wild?

Definatly right, most circus polar bears were no taller than a man. Polars that tall and large had to be straight from the wild. There is no more info on that pic.

About circus polar bears: During the 19th century and on into the early 20th century, polar bears were fed as omnivores like all the other bears. Mostly vegetation. But in more modern circus and zoos, you have bigger polar bears, although no match for their wild brothers and sisters.

This is a large massive young but fully grown male polar bears. Older polar bears look more creamy yellow due to the seal oil from its blubber which has accumulated in the bears fur over the years.

Yeah Tom, the polar had a whole decapitated head on his mouth. The wild is a sad place.

It's survival of the fittest. Mother nature is cruel and sadly this type of behavior is likely to continue as long as the sea ice continues to decline.

POLAR BEAR ATTACKS SUBMARINE The submarine surfaced in an area of polar ice between Alaska and the North Pole. Arctic submariners learned to look out for polar bears long ago – especially before disembarking onto the ice. In 2003 a large (700-800lb) polar bear was seen approaching the USS Connecticut (SSN-22). The bear loitered around the submarine’s rear rudder for approximately 40 minutes. The bear tried to take a bite out of the rudder but of course found it inedible! The bear stayed in the area of the broken ice around the rudder for a while, presumably thinking a seal might use it as an air hole. The bear finally left when he heard the noise of an approaching helicopter. When an officer on board the submarine first looked around outside via the periscope he noted that the submarine was being stalked by a hostile polar bear. The periscope camera was turned on resulting in these photos of a polar bear chewing on the subs rear rudder. The damage was said to be minor! spikeworld.co.uk/polar-bear-attacks-submarine/
