[–]jrk- 13 points14 points ago

Ha, it's Flocke.

Whoa, now I'm happy and proud that she made it here too. I regularly run around our local zoo, where she was born/raised, and there was quite some media attention back then.

Thanks for the video.

Btw. Flocke means flake (from snowflake). One of her keepers nicknamed her like that and they like it so much that they kept the name.

[–]kvikklunsj 3 points4 points ago

How old is she now? Has she moved to another zoo?

[–]jrk- 2 points3 points ago

Should be around 4 or 5. They sent her to a zoo in southern france afair.

Here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flocke :)

[–]banana_buddy 0 points1 point ago

I would totally give the chick in the video a full time job to tickle my bear

[–]TheTalkingCamelAnus 2 points3 points ago

Awwww, what a cute polar bear...minutes later Oh crap, my ears!

[–]Doctorelectricwisdom 2 points3 points ago

The scatting and smooth jazz add so much.

[–]moominmama 1 point2 points ago

It was so wretchedly annoying that I chipped a tooth whilst grinding my teeth in anger. I hate smooth jazz, and that was a particularly bad example.

[–]EdWumslerIII 3 points4 points ago

It sounds so... evil.

[–]anacche 2 points3 points ago

Didn't you know that cute is just a mask to facilitate better evil? The cute disarms you and then when your guard is down BAM full evil mode. Source? Look at a kitten.

[–]tardisrider613 3 points4 points ago

Yes. As a person who hates being tickled, I am not sure if the bear likes it or not.

[–]kjoeleskapet 8 points9 points ago

In the source video, she keeps trying to crawl away only to be picked up and plonked back down.

Also, I'm right there with you. My mother too. She said tickling is tantamount to torture or abuse. The last person who tried to tickle me got an elbow to the face. It's all fun and games until I cut a bitch.

Sometimes i would be far better than being apathetic about the friggin tattoo, it's about $1500-$2500 altogether.

Also, they can cite you for. Here in the game and drink pretty much knew I needed a 2pt. conversion, recovered onside kick, drive down the right to tell you.

As a severely ticklish person, I feel sorry for this bear. Not only is he to young and weak to stop the tickling but his cute face falsifies his enjoyment of it. Poor baby polar bear...

I just had a rough day at work (I work at a Front Desk of a hotel) and seeing this brightened up my day a little more than looking at my usual intake of cat pictures.

[–]bubbamudd 1 point2 points ago

True story: my brother-in-law is a zookeeper in the North American section of our city zoo. He was feeding the polar bears and dropped his iPhone 4 in the polar bear pool. The polar bear dove in, retrieved the iPhone, got out and put it on a rock. He then moved away so my brother-in-law could come in and get his water-logged iPhone. My brother-in-law called me wanting to know what to do. I told him to go to our nearest Apple store and see what they could do. He related his story to the Apple Genius and showed them his zoo ID. Apple gave him a replacement.

[–]Rust_Never_Sleeps 0 points1 point ago

For some reason I read "Just a bi-poler bear being tickled" I was confused when the bear didn't get angry. Disappointing, to be honest.

[–]A_UPS_DUDE 0 points1 point ago

Get that bear a coke!

[–]bestchildintheworld 0 points1 point ago

Aww thats so cute :) I want one as a pet.

[–]brussels4breakfast 1 point2 points ago

I would like to see the human do this when the bear grows up. Actually I wouldn't.

I worked at Seaworld and had to do some faux finishing in the Polar bear exhibit where the bears actually live. Me and a few coworkers were escorted inside and were quite taken aback by the whole scene. Once inside the door, everything is stainless steel. There are several very thick, heavy duty doors we had to walk through. On either side of us were very thick stainless steel wall/doors with about a five inch gap from the bottom of this to the floor.

While we were listening to the animal trainer tell us about safety, from under one of the door/walls came a huge bear paw. The bear could obviously smell us and after a few attempts to reach us with it's paw it began to get agitated. It began banging on the panel with all it's mite and snorting very loudly. It scared the shit out of us.

There are three Polar bears at Seaworld Orlando. Snowflake and Klondike and Johnny. Snowflake and Klondike are brother and sister and were born and hand-raised in California when their mother refused to care for them. They were a nation-wide hit because they were so cute. I don't know where Johnny came from but he's the largest of the three and the most aggressive. He was the one that was 'interested' in us.

I learned that day that Polar bears are not white in fact, their hair is yellow. Their skin is black and the hair follicles are hollow. The black skin absorbs heat from the Sun and the hollow hair follicles allow the heat to transfer to the skin. Polar bears are the only bear that deliberately hunts man. Unlike most bears, a Polar bear won't run from a human being instead, when they smell one, they hunt it down to eat it. No animal trainers ever get close to Polar bears. When a bear needs a check up or anything done to it, the bear is sedated and a medical team takes care of it.

[–]Gavekort 1 point2 points ago

I know this won't be popular, but animals don't like to be tickled. Tickling is the body acting in distress and laughter is just a side-effect in humans. That is why you still laugh, even though most people hate it.
