Of course the bear doesn't react because the dog is on a leash. If that thing wasn't on a leash what chance do you think the bear would have a sitting there doing nothing?

Having encountered a bear in the wild (albeit not a polar bear) and had it do exactly nothing despite being startled, I do think the bear would do nothing. If anything, the dog being on a leash gives the bear every opportunity to kill the thing. It doesn't because it has no reason to.

If pressed, the bear would have killed the dog and gone on not giving a shit. Your video just shows a bear ignoring a dog. It isn't proof of anything beyond the fact you clearly like dogs a little more than is healthy.

I don't know. I just woke up at 7am. No class until 10, so might go get some breakfast and update Top 50s.

Just saw an Alaskan Malamute kill a Siberian tiger with one swipe of its mighty paw.

Thank God it was on a leash or he would have destroyed half of Russia.

Bulldog Force vs. Wild. Lets see what the bears, wolves and other creatures alike think then. I'm sure Bulldog Force could take on two wolves, easily.

Negative. I will never harm wolves. Now, I'm not one of those green peace protestors, 'save the whales', 'save our trees', 'against global warming' etc... but I do like wolves. In fact Polar Bears are probably more endangered than wolves with global warming and I couldn't give two shits about them.

Don't harm the wolves, no skin off my bones. However, I'm sure said wolves would be happy to rip your throat out, eat your delicious face meat mostly while having a big smile on it's face.

Well this is the final thing I'll say on the matter and then we'll agree to disagree. If we are talking about power, then there is no question about it, bears (polar or not) are much stronger than wolves due to their size. That is their advantage. However, this is also a weakness, because being so big, they are not as fast or mobile, and they are their endurance is much lower. The wolves have the speed advantage, and in the wild that is their biggest advantage. Animals such as bisons and what have you can even scare wolves off, but if it came down to it, I believe wolves have the upper hand on bears simply due to their endurance. Bears are naturally stronger, but the longer the tug-of-war goes on, the worse it is for them.

That's much final say on this topic. No doubt most of you will disagree, but that's that.

melbourne gets those sunsets every spring through to autumn..
I find that hard to believe for some reason. When I think of Melbourne, the vision I usually get is cloudy, overcast days and cold weather. Last time I went to Melbourne, the weather was fairly nice, 27 degrees, blue sky, nice and sunny... and I woke up the next day and what a contract it was, 16 degrees (top temp that day), overcast, and drizzly. This was in late Spring.
