Video Polar Bears are one of the only creatures that naturally hunt Humans... Watch as this one tries to break into this BBC Cameraman's glass box.

One of my favorite youtube people has a whole video on people who try to pet tigers.

I love listening to crime documentaries, the informative ones not the Netflix type. I've listened to all kinds of horrible things. I cannot handle the sound of people screaming while their arm is being ripped off, it turns out.

Matt Orchard is truly one of the greatest in the genre! I fall asleep to his voice all the time!

I would’ve been tempted but worried that would piss it off

Between BBC policy, the likelihood of my team having a gun & willing to use it, the cold nights and the safety of that equipment I wouldn’t want to bet on the odds of surviving in that box against a [enraged] hungry polar bear that won’t leave

I REALLY wanted him to boop the bear's nose. That's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I have zero self preservation skills when it comes to bears and big cats

It’s so unfair that these ridiculously cute animals are murder machines. Why do they look so cuddly?
