People Laugh At How Differently Canadians And Finnish People Deal With Bears

ADVERTISEMENT

Finnish people and Canadians are like day and night. If Finns are known for their surly attitudes and a massive love for sauna, then everybody knows the famous cliche about Canadians being uber polite and apologetic. And if you think that these personality traits only show when interacting with other human beings, we have proof that it also translates when dealing with animals.

In a video below, you’ll see fine specimens of a Finn and a Canadian dealing with some unexpected guests – wild bears. Wild brown bears are relatively shy animals and have no desire to interact with humans. However, in areas densely populated with wildlife, people sometimes get the chance to encounter these giant creatures. And while there are many ways you can approach this terrifying situation of a bear attack, Tumblr users found two hilarious examples.

Scroll down to see the footage on how to deal if a bear decides to visit you in a backyard. And while both of them are quite obviously effective, we are rooting for screaming PERKELE as loud as you can; at least you’ll capture some hilariously funny moments while doing it.

    Except there is a complete difference between polar bears and other types of bear. Polar bears see shouting as acts of aggression and have been known to act up on it.

    Tapperweasel seems to need some biology education. These are the first black polar bears that I see. In both cases, replacing the bears with polar bears might have ended not so forutnate.

    It may work with brown bears. But when you see a polar bear and don't have 4 good solid walls to separate you from it (or a gun to scare it away) - well, you are f***ed.

    A guy I knew went working to Svalbard. He told me that before you're allowed to work on the field, you need to learn how to use a rifle. Once on the field, at least one person must carry one at all time, in case of a polar bear attack. Because these show no mercy. If you end up in front of an angry polar bear, you can only wish you know how to shoot. If not, you're pretty much dead already...
