Our guide, however, suggested that wasn’t such a good idea and, no, he didn’t care that I was Norwegian.The following otaku senshi/characters have either appeared in my fanfics or I have found outstanding. It was, in a word, magnificent and the sighting was one of the unforgettable highlights of an assignment filled with unforgettable highlights. The bear was so close we could see its breath in the cold air, but it was as uninterested in us as we were charmed by it, and the entire time it just lolled on the rock watching us with not a little bemusement. We were all grousing that our schedule didn’t allow time to take out tundra buggies for polar bear spotting, a huge tourism draw for the town, but we did ask our driver if there had been any bear sightings close to town that day. Almost before we could focus our cameras, he had radioed ahead to someone and promptly veered off on a side road and, there, right before our eyes was a young bear sunning itself on the rocks by the side of road. We were told it was dangerous, that we were not to wander off and that if the sirens went off, it meant a bear was in town. It was the perfect time of year, as the bears were plentiful, and prowling the edges of the bay waiting for the ice to freeze so they could head out hunting. While touring with the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay across Canada’s north in November 2009, I was among a group of journalists and Olympic staffers attending a torch celebration in Churchill, Manitoba, a world-famous hot spot for polar bear watching. Thorseth, who apparently told the rest of the crew not to be afraid of the bear because polar bears don’t have any natural predators and it wasn’t afraid of them and who today is kind of perplexed about all the recent hubbub, has some kind of jam. The video of Thorseth feeding the polar bear was made public only this week, and is burning up the Internet. Thorseth, by then inside the wheelhouse, opened a little window and took a swing at the bear’s snout to shoo it away, at which point it turned on its heel, lumbered off, slipped over the side the boat and headed for an ice floe. Instead, it approached the side of Thorseth’s boat, ironically a former polar bear hunting ship, and ate the sandwiches right from Thorseth’s hands, and then clambered on to the boat and approached the wheel house. Turns out, though, the gregarious young bear didn’t chomp the arms off Ragnar Thorseth. So when I heard about the Norwegian adventurer who, 20 years ago, hand-fed salmon and mayonnaise sandwiches to a wild polar bear while fishing in a Norwegian archipelago called Svalbard, which is about 1,000 kilometres from the North Pole, I could only think: I hope they said nice things at his funeral. What would either of the bears do, I asked Mike, if he (who they knew and were comfortable with) or someone like myself (who they didn’t know at all), fell into the cage, or the grotto. Tuk started pacing and growling and letting me know that if I wanted to return for a little pat he’d be happy to tear my arms off and have them for dinner. ![]() That same day I patted the head of Tuk, the zoo’s resident (and long departed) polar bear. The encounter, of course, was through the bars of his cage, but I remember that his head was as big as an anvil and he thrust it part way through the thick bars so I could give him a little scratch, you know, about six inches away from a set of incisors that can rip the side off a seal. And while Tuk seemed to tolerate the human interaction - and McIntosh assured me he would behave - the big bear wasn’t thrilled when I then wandered too close to the cage of his agitated gal pal, Lady, on the other side of the indoor enclosure. I once went into the Arctic wolf enclosure in Stanley Park wearing a leather skirt, and while I was accompanied by reassuring park zoo keeper Mike McIntosh (about whom I was writing a profile), I kept asking him if they had already eaten and why he wasn’t carrying a gun. I’ve done some mighty dumb things with animals in the name of journalism. You can save this article by registering for free here.
