Teen TRAPPED on Ice Floe with POLAR BEARS!!!!!  

-scratches head- Didn't I JUST read this somewhere a lil' bit ago? Sure glad he had the means to protect himself from the bear although sad he had to shoot her. I'm a survivor so yeah, I could and would!

I would not have made it, the biggest reason is I would not have had a gun to shoot the mother polar bear. I am glad that he did, for his sake. I am glad that he has survived.

This is scary. Honestly I maybe dead by now
before the rescue will arrive. The cold temperature
alone would weaken my body and the mama bear...shees...not
a nice experience should I say.

Hi Lori,


What was the teen doing there in the first place, I tried the link but it is not there, so what was he doing there, I am so angry that he shot the mother Bear, he should have died instead as those poor baby bears, my heart breaks for them for losing their mum because of some stupid human going into their space. I'm sorry, that is how I feel. I am a member of Animal Welfare.

Man! That is one lucky guy!

I think we're all capable of much more than we realize. Our survival instinct is probably the greatest instinct we have and we almost always do what is necessary. I've had several situations in my life where, before they happened, I would have thought I'd never make it through alive but was amazed that I could do what it took to get through them.

[em]cry[/emem]thumbdown[/em]hi lori wow what a predicament to be trapped on an ice floe with a mama bear and her babies. I am glad he had some way to defend himself against the mama bear.
also glad he did get rescued in spite of having hypothermia. Yes I think I would have survived as I am a survivor from years back. I have a slogan Ihave used since I smashed my left shoulder and had to have a surgically implanted shoulderr joint. when I was in rehab and had to learn to walk with a cane with the fear of falling still in my mind, I would give up and say,I cannot walk another inch. and the physical therapist would grin and say, you can always do a lot more than you think you can. so then I would walk at least ten more feet, so when I could walk clear down the hall and around the corner to another hall, he told me, see and you thought you cou ld not do this. so yes I would survive, maybe I would be frozen in spots but I would survive. as I have survived so far being here where I still do not w ant to be after a whole bloody year almost.

I believe I would hyperventilate so bad that I 'd just drop dead from my heart racing and not being able to breathe.
Can it happen? I think so. I am not a good shot with a gun so the bear could have mauled me before I hyperventilated to death, I suppose.

yes fortunately he is alive that is something for sure, poor bear though, I love wild animals.

Most likely I would have ended up being bear chow...

Wow... just wow D:
