During a trip to do a report on polar bears, the largest land carnivores, a photographer was surprised by two cubs. Indeed, two polar bears strayed from their fellow bears to follow the man and his group into the sea for a short distance. Attracted by the photographer's go-pro, one of the two animals got really close to the boat, until he touched the camera. The reporters took the opportunity to take a few shots but above all to enjoy this rare moment. On several occasions, they tried to put some distance between them and the bear, but the bear refused to let go of the camera.
The photographers who wished to remain anonymous, let some laughter erupt at the end of the video. Laughter of relief as the plantigrade moves away?
This encounter is no less impressive when you consider that an adult polar bear weighs about 500 kg (and can weigh up to 1 ton) and that underneath its appearance as a friendly white teddy bear, it can be very dangerous. They are excellent swimmers and can swim several hundred metres in the water.
