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

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

    …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.

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

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

  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.

  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 : )

    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 : )))

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

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