Polar bears are pretty cool. Sometimes you might find them lurking around ice patches or behind the Seven Eleven. Most of the time polar bears eat seals but sometimes, in late Fall, they get the taste for baked or fried chicken. This is why you find many KFC’s ransacked or destroyed in late November.

Besides Navy Seals, these bears also eat Army Rangers and Special Forces. They have even been known to snack on a few Green Beret from time to time.

Polar Bears also prefer boats for traveling longer distances especially when in pursuit of a meal. While walking and swimming are reserved for shorter distances and for recreational activities.

Polar bears in Tennessee are rare but best keep on the lookout.

Please use caution when encountering polar bears. They are not only radioactive but they can cause great sadness, especially if they eat your face.
