Well, it is about the only actual predator to the human species so we make a big deal out of it.
We could accidentally release some polar bears in Antarctica, guess they could survive there.
How come no places are called No Wolves or No Lions or No Tigers?
Oh my
Petition to make the names less confusing by naming the top one to “Bear” and the bottom one to “Twink”.
I want you to know I understand the genius of this
What would the equivalent be for “penguins” and “no penguins”?
Pinkouinos / antipinkouinos ?
Chat, is this true?
The arctic isn’t named after polar bears, but after the greek bear constellations which hold the north star. And the Antarctica is named after being the opposite of where the bear constellations are. It’s just a coincidence that the correct one has bears and the correct one doesn’t.
It’s still mind blowing, even if it is a coincidence.
You’re going to name constellations after things that you know well, so the fact that there are a lot of bears relative to other megafauna in northern regions means that in a way the original idea still holds, just not quite as basic.
