I do have a thing for Polar bears.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\nThey look so furry and white…like the bear pulling the sled below.\u00a0<\/span>

But if I’M<\/u> going to ride in a sled pulled by bears, I want it to look\u00a0impressive<\/i>, like the bears pulling the White Witch’s sled in Narnia.<\/span>

\nThat’s more like it…bears with teeth<\/i>! \u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>
\nBut that harness….it looks like the bears will slip it off over their heads any minute. A thought as scary as that woman’s hair!<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

Maybe\u00a0riding<\/i> a Polar bear would be better, like the girl in the Golden Compass:<\/span>
<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\nCool ride…but also, Brrrr!<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe I’d want to ride my polar bear in a warmer setting. Like in a Western?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

\nMuch warmer…but the saddle just isn’t as fun as real polar bear armor!<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBut when it comes to Polar bears and being transported by them, my all-time favorite vision is the one below:<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh yes. \u00a0Bears with no visible harnesses ‘pulling’ a medieval… uh….snowmobile? \u00a0I guess if the bears get too fractious, the armored guy can just fire up the engine and take off without them!<\/span><\/p>\n

Seriously though, Polar bears can’t be tamed enough to pull a sled; they’re much too unpredictable. And around dogs…well, you’d normally have to watch out; bears and dogs do NOT get along.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>

\nBut in one single spot on earth….that’s not true.<\/span>

\nCheck out the first photo on this page, and the following video, of wild Polar bears actually playing<\/i> with sled dogs…it’s amazing!<\/span><\/p>\n
