just a note: they don’t hunt humans. they are opportunistic and will include humans in their food supply if necessary. polar bears typically avoid people like other bears.

Yeah this one certainly doesn't look like it's hunting at all - not saying it wouldn't attack him if it could get to him, but it seems a lot more curious than aggressive.

Angry growl vs questioning growl. Two totally different growls. I'm sure there is a community around here that could go into more detail for you.

I remain skeptical. At the risk of anthropomorphizing, why would a hunting bear be "angry"?
As the dude in the video says, this is more or less what they do with seals.

Puts human in bear habitat, gets surprised the bear shows interest. Calls it "bear hunting human".

Lols.

Yeah, it kinda made me feel bad. It's probably hungry af and thought it finally found some food. As i recall it's not that easy to find for them.

I think it's because they have no facial muscles, so they can't show emotion through facial expressions.

Nah their body language, shape, white fur and button eyes, paws, everything about them is cute

I don't know, that bear just wasted quite a bit of energy in an environment where it really matters.

I was more like why is the guy there. Because I don't know the answer can't make a definitive judgement on the case. If it was just to watch a bear struggle with a cage yea fuck that. If it was to document something that is undocumentable in any other way, that is more respectable.

He'd set up to film near a hole in the ice where seals pop up to take a breath, but the polar bear took an interest in him instead.
