I can dispute the one, all polar bears are left handed. That would be like saying that all humans are right handed. When this study was done on polar bears, they noted that most polar bears were left handed. Because most polar bears are left handed, they are taught by others and parents to be left handed. That is, when they are hunting prey, they cover their eyes with their right paw and swipe with the left. But a polar bear that is naturally dominant right handed struggles with which paw he/she should be swiping with! It's sounds so sad to learn that a polar bear starts swiping with both paws all confused. Game of patty cake anyone? Poor right handed polar bears! :(
