And I thought polar bears only ate penguins. Are the scientists wearing penguin suits?

Nah. They can't get the wrappers off.

[WTFH]

And I thought polar bears only ate penguins.

And glacier mints.

Are the scientists wearing penguin suits?

No, but they were wearing foil thermal suits with red jackets over them. Might have looked more like kitkats.

Is the Torygraph more to sir's liking:
Russian scientists besieged by pack of Arctic polar bears who ate their dog and slept under hut's windows

(As Ms Poppins says, the story has a happy ending)

Depends from which perspective you look at it.! Those bears must have felt pretty aggrieved to have only come away with one measly dog from that potential bounty!

Is that the one where Timmy the dog was eaten after it turned out he was a tulip husky?

On R4 on Weds I'm sure they said that they'd been rescued and were all fine now (bears included).

damn, and I've always wanted to know who would win in a fight, a polar bear or a drunken Russian scientist.

[WTFH]

Hollywood will be all over this like flies to turd!

I am however somewhat suspicious about its legitimacy though... Seems the BBC have rather a lot of info there!

Polar bears are nearly extinct so they must have been very unlucky indeed to have encountered them.

Five get stranded in the snow - and polar bears are closing in - BBC Three

Five Russian scientists are currently stranded in a small wooden shack in the Arctic, surrounded by a family of hungry bears. After two weeks, they've run out of flares to scare off the bears. And it gets worse. It'll be a month before anyone can reach them to help. It's like a horror story, but this time... it's real.
