In Which I Am Not Food

I saw this site about taking a vacation to swim with polar bears.

*blink*

Polar bears are predators. They hunt in the water for fish and seals. To sharks, humans look a lot like seals. Somehow I'm not terribly convinced that bears think much differently. It's food-sized and it's flopping around in the water ...

... nooooo way am I ever swimming with bears. At least with dolphins, the only risk is interspecies sexual harassment, not getting eaten.

Maybe that's a trip you book for someone else. Like the in-laws. ;)
