Don't Worry About Stranded Polar Bears, Nothing Bad Will Happen To Them

“A polar bear cub is comforted by its mother as they drift TWELVE MILES out from shore on a rapidly shrinking iceberg after hopping on board to take a rest from hunting seals. The future looks bleak for the bears as they balance perilously on the ice that was bobbing around under their weight — but amazingly experts said the pair probably made it safely back to shore.” Well, thank God for experts! Because I would much rather hear their assurances than the speculation from the man who was actually on the scene.

Eric Lefranc, 40, who took the photograph while cruising in the area, doubted the cub would survive.

“If she was able to leave her baby, the mother would probably have survived but our guide was quite pessimistic about the survival of the cub, who probably drowned,” he said.

“Some of the members on our trip were in despair. They wanted to take the bears with us and bring them to the nearest land which was obviously impossible.”

Yeah, I’m going to stick with the expert opinion. They’re both FINE. In fact, they are probably frolicking together right now. Right?
