Polar Bear Dens
(i.kym-cdn.com)
Ok, just how many places was he hiding in?
Saddam: If I fits I sits.
It took awhile to find him
This one got me good because Saddam Hussein was the last thing I noticed
I don't know why the spider hole memes are back, but I don't need to know; I'm just glad
I want to know how polar bears figured out that they need an air hole in their dens. Is that passed down instinctually or demonstratively? Animals are so cool.
Surely that was a suggestion by Saddam. Seems he was a really nice guy.
The ones without that instinct died. That's how natural selection works.
The ones that didn’t figure out didn’t breed and make more bears.
Bear who made more holes survived?
Btw, don't they get snowed shut?
I think the heat produced by the bears keep the vents open, but that's an un-educated guess.
"Well this sucks, can't breathe."
Punches hole in roof to get air
"OK, that works. Come to think of it, that's how momma did it."
The second Jurassic Park book had a neat idea. What if much of the animal behavior we see is taught and not instinctual? The dinosaurs start fouling their poorly made nests and stomping all over their eggs because they didn't have parents to emulate or teach them. Been thinking on that for over 20 years.
What is the lower chamber for?
Extra Saddam Husseins.
The most successful polar bears can accumulate 4-5 Saddam's per season.
In human-built igloos, the low spots would be for collecting the coldest air.
Storing snacks.
i.e. Saddam Hussain
poop
Before I zoomed in, I thought maybe that was the poop chamber, and that was a bear poop.
How do you guys manage to put him in the last spot I look EVERY TIME
Quality scientific shitpost
What did I miss this time?
Saddam
