The hotel in Yellowknife has a stuffed, full-size polar bear on display.

Now I’ve often thought to myself—have you thought this too?—that I reckon if I was ready and had a basic weapon and time to prepare, I could probably take any predator that nature could throw at me.

Of course, you’re never really sure… and on the “probably couldn’t actually actually handle them” list, polar bears are near the top (right behind wolf packs).
Still, it helps to actually see the scale of these real, still alive today beasts that can and would eat you.

We hope these photos help nurture your polar bear fighting daydreams.
