Who knew fearsome polar bears would play gently with dogs?

If you’re interacting with wildlife, it’s always important to show some respect and keep your distance. That’s especially true if the wildlife in question is potentially dangerous.

Animal behavior in general is unpredictable and with wild animals, it’s a good idea to expect the unexpected. Few people are like the biologist known as “The Wolfman” who raised a group of wolf cubs, learning the meaning of every growl and howl.

He knew what he was doing (although not all of his fellow biologists would agree). Or take for example a group of friends in Finland who went out to photograph a bear. It actually played nicely with their dog but suddenly did an about-face and lunged at one of the people, sending him running for his life. He was lucky and lived to tell about it. What did you think of how these dogs and polar bears get along? Let us know in the comments at Facebook and don’t forget to like and share!
