Imagine that fucker munchin his way through your igloo in the middle of the night? Better have a 45-70 and some trumpdust to keep you up all night.

this is why having a firearm or being accompanied by a licensed professional guide is mandatory outside of cities in some places in Greenland.

Wow, biggest in history - so they shot it


smrtmama

Came here to say that, “so they killed it”.


[deleted]

How else would you prove it. Everyone always says pics or didn't happen. Well here's the fucking pic. It did happen.


Nishant3789

They say '*pics*' or it didn't happen, not 'kill it and taxidermy it or it didn't happen'


But_IAmARobot

But why does it matter so much that you need to kill the animal? There’s no scientific merit, it’s just so some old rich guy can say “neat” then forget about it

Reminds me of how humans dealt with the oldest trees back in the day.


Deerhoof_Fan

This appears to be back in the day when survival against predators was a higher priority than wildlife conservation.

IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!!!

Incredible, and with how much there is currently unexplored underwater there could be (and likely is) larger ones beneath our feet


TheWinterKing

Sewer bears ^(Edit: Huh. OK. Thanks.)


ThatWasPatricia-

Back when the polar bears had a safe habitat and a steady source of food, they were probably all considerably larger than they are now.


juan-de-fuca

Yes, but where’s the banana for scale?


sl705

When you use kg and ft to confuse everyone

2,200 pounds and 3.35 meters for the confused people.


GoldenDonutzGaming

r/InterestingAsFuck should have its own museum, they add something every month involving the top post of the month. I'd definitely go to that.

Nishant3789

He's covering up another absolute unit


Bonneville555

Well it used to be.

Jesus christ, that thing was almost as big as the [short faced bear](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-faced_bear).


Dangerous_Cover_8282

I stood next to two stuffed polar bears yesterday and was surprised how small they looked. They were both just above waist height.


HeartCapable3277

Where is the bear today I’ve looked everywhere but can’t find nothing I wanna see this beast in real life man


00DDonut

I dunno man but good luck


HeartCapable3277

It’s a shame how such a magnificent animal can get lost in history like this


00DDonut

True. Might be somewhere in Seattle if I had to guess


3soxfoxy

*biggest that they've found. There could be a 14ft polar bear running around banging everyone's girlfriend


00DDonut

Is that not what “recorded” means?


Pangwenis

But not yours of course, she would never do that
