Police have shot and killed a polar bear that came ashore in northwestern Iceland, the first sighting of a polar bear there since 2016. It might have hitched a ride from Greenland on a floating iceberg.

    Because most animals, including polar bears, have learned to be wary of groups of humans. And nobody is saying they won’t hunt humans. But the article doesn’t support that this one was. The comment section is acting like they’re obligated to hunt humans.

      Polar bears are absolutely not wary of humans. You keep talking about the topic as if you don’t really know anything about them.

      Lol, polar bears do not avoid humans, that’s like running away from food
