Please tell me that you’ve seen the Spider Man movies? I mean, they only generated about a quadrillion dollars! So I assume everyone has…

Actually, based on what little you can see of the license plates on the two trucks, I’d say this is somewhere in Alaska, not in Canada at all.
Clearly….anyone who knows anything knows there is no polar bears in Western Canada. Based on the terrain it is likely above the tree line, as all we can see are snow balls and rocks. An educated guess would have to put this photo on the west coast of the Hudson Bay in eastern Canada.
Pic 1, and especially 2, are extremely scary! But in pic 4 – the bear looks so gorgeous and so regal! Even if he does want human on the lunch menu! LOL!
Omigoodness! I can’t believe that other guy is just taking pictures! That must some kind of set-up! Like that’s really a tame, used-to-humans bear, right? Right? eeks!
The bear sure is beautiful, though, isn’t he? She?
Yes i agree with Terry.How come he is able to move that fast in the snow.
Wow..if that guy made it I want to know what shoes he is wearing to get away from the bear in the snow…i smell a shoe contract coming.
Looks like that bear is about to get a little afternoon snack.
