Police have shot and killed a polar bear that came ashore in northwestern Iceland, the first sighting of a polar bear there since 2016. It might have hitched a ride from Greenland on a floating iceberg.

    If it’s black, fight back. If it’s brown, lie down. If it’s white, good night.

      And remember that black bears can be shades of brown.

        Grizzly bears are brown.

        You lie down in hopes that it will not perceive you as food and once it has determine you are no longer a threat, it will hopefully leave you with lots of wounds requiring stiches, but not completely dead.

          Thanks, for some reason I thought grizzly bears had special rules.

            I mean… if you think fighting a grizzly bear is a good Plan A, go for it.
