    Oh, I hope he’s not.

      He was not on the high sea – so he will be fine now.

        Phew. The thought of a distressed animal breaks my heart.

        1. rabirius Avatar

          …me too – and I think it is enough distress being logged in a cage – though as you can see, the bears have at least a lot of space there.

    oh no :O somebody should help him!

    1. rabirius Avatar

      He probably doesn’t need help – the picture was taken at a zoo 🙂

      1. marthalisek Avatar

        one reason more, somebody should bring him out of there 😉

        1. rabirius Avatar

          …you can go on and try.
          I took the picture at the zoo in Hanover – so you know where you can find him.

            now i know why he seems so familiar to me 🙂

          2. rabirius Avatar

            You’re from Hanover then?

          3. rabirius Avatar

            Then send him my greetings, when you visit him next!

      This one’s fine – he lives in a zoo…
      …though with the poles slowly starting to melt, I think some polar bears already are in a sorry state now.

    Please tell me he’s okay…

    1. rabirius Avatar

      …yes, he is. Don’t worry.

    I like the shot, but do not like the fact that he has no ice to climb onto! just heartbreaking!!!

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you.
      Well, there was no ice near by – but it wan’t far from the shore. So he will be fine.

    Very nice shot, but I feel sorry for Yogi! :-/

      Thank you.
      Don’t worry about the bear – he’s fine.

      1. Niko Avatar

        That’s ok! 🙂

    I think he is just playing with it as they swim like fish ! Happy New Year !

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Yes, you’re right.
      The picture was taken at a zoo – and he was actually playing with the buoy. I just thought he looked like he was in distress, and therefore the title.

        I knew exactly what you meant! The polar Bears here in the Phila Zoo are hysterical to watch but also very mean and vicious animal. One of the keepers told me he would NEVER EVER turn his back on a Polar Bear! They think we are food : )

        1. rabirius Avatar

          Yes, I know. They are the most dangerous of all bears…

          1. vastlycurious.com Avatar

            I never knew it until he told me. I assumed that captive creatures would bond with their feeders but apparently PB do NOT and would rather eat their feeder : )))

          2. rabirius Avatar

            That might be true. I remember that someone once told me that the further north the more dangerous the bears.

    🙁 sad photo… I do hope it’s been saved… have a serene weekend and a pleasant end of December… my very best, Mélanie

      Hello Mélanie,
      as the scene was taken at a zoo, the bear will be fine now.
      Thanks for your concern.

      I also wish you all the best for the next year.

      Greetings,
      rabirius.
