If you’ve ever wanted to get up close and personal with a polar bear (and who hasn’t, right?) NOW YOU CAN! That’s right, turns out polar bears like swimming with humans and do it all the time up in Canada! Check out these photos!

Okay, okay, you found me out… there is a 9 CM THICK WALL OF SHATTERPROOF GLASS between the bears and the tender, juicy little morsels with floaties on the other side. But great shots, huh?

These pix are from the Polar Bear Habitat & Heritage Village in Cochrane, Ontario. ;-)

Apparently, people just sat there and watched this happen, doing nothing about it. Sad. I have no idea what happened to the man here, but if I hear anything about memorial services, I will let you know.
