the most transparent thing on here

is noway

the koolklown abuser


what a freak
Jno, we may have been in keeping with scientific theory to our own date, it is perhaps possible that new theories have arisen since lol! science moves on so quickly that perhaps we are right, yet legend seems to have found a new source? Legend, are we both wrong? whilst the hair may not reflect the ultraviolet light, this does not necessarily mean that the shorter fur underneath may not be the cause of the polar bears whiteness? is wiki out of date? genuinely interested, not taking the p1ss out of anyone!! :)
I also recall that the vast majority of polar bears are 'left-handed' [should that be left pawed??]. Like 80% or more



Q Why dont polar bears eat penguins?

A They cant get the wrapper off

{Actually they live at opposite poles so they would never meet each other}
wiki isnt a definite source of any info

the bit i posted was a goggled bbit of scientific research
link legend? might b an interesting read :)
i must be a polar bear, every time the budda imposes his most unfunny posts , i can smell him, ********, sweat, and halitosis, mind you he is very good at giving advise on happy families, and marriage problems, lol lol lol lol lol lol
i googled common misconceptions about polar bears

it gives a few hundred pages lol
Just occured 2 me.... why would a polar bear need to smell a human? perhaps inuits? ( im not sure thats the current pc term though!) Are polar bears being hunted the same way other endangered species are???
lol fair dos legend, think i'll need to read up on them a bit :)
Although the polar bear’s coat appears white, each individual hair is actually a clear, hollow tube. Some of the sun’s rays bounce off the fur, making the polar bear’s coat appear white. During the summer months, adult bears molt, or gradually shed their coats and grow new ones, which look pure white. By the following spring, the sunshine has caused their coats to turn a yellowish shade.
