Polar Bears (Bears addendum)
It has been said and proven that bears cannot run down hill. But, what does this say about the mightiest of bears, polar bears?
As you may have seen, polar bears can indeed move downhill. However, unlike the typical brown, black or grizzly bear, they do not fall end over end. Rather, the mighty polar bear, will slide downhill in a controlled sledding fashion. Therefore, if you are pursued by a polar bear in the arctic environment, as they are wont to live, do not run downhill, it will catch you.
The mightiest of bears, the polar bear
So, you may ask, how do i escape such a ravenous bear attack?
The answer to this requires some preparation on your part. When traveling in an arctic environment always carry a toboggan lubricated on the bottom with silicon. If no silicon is available seal or whale fat may be used. But, make sure the sled is pre-lubricated and aim yourself towards a steep and long enough hill as to be able to outrun the polar bear. You will move faster over time than the polar bear, but they have incredible initial speed.
So, carry a sled, aim for a long steep hill and pray that the bear isn’t similarly armed with a sled of his own.
