I’m a Manitoban and let me tell you that polar bears in the wild are ruthless savage predators second to none. My hats off to the folks with the courage to earn her love and respect. Don’t try that at home unless you have a death wish😬

#1 apex predator!!!! _"bears can outrun you, out swim you, out climb you, can smell you 20 miles away, they're smart and know how to 'play dead' you think you shot it dead then it attacks. Only thing they can't do is FLY"_ Bears also eat you alive--they don't even bother killing you first.

Agee starred in her final film in 2023 - the Canadian science-fiction film 'Polaris', which features a fitting end - her character turns into Ursa Major at the end of the film, thus immortalizing the polar bear star as literal stars. After Mark was no longer able to care for her, she moved to the Assiniboine Zoo in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I hope she is doing well there and Mark can visit.

He can be off leash and stay by my side, listens to commands etc, only barks for me when he misses me or knows I'm around when he's in his kennel. Best bloody relationship with an animal I've ever had, and Jack has really helped me through my dad's passing and opened up my heart. People are becoming pretty nasty but animals, animals never change and their hearts will always be pure enough to let you in if you show them kindness and open your heart to them.

So she has lots of company maybe she'll even find a boyfriend however because she has not been associated with polar bears ever I believe that they are keeping her away from the other bears hopefully she will become friends with them eventually.

MOST animals and ESPECIALLY bears CANNOT be introduced fi the wild once being raised by humans …..they just won’t survive…..they’ll see out humans constantly….and all else. So maybe learn a LITTLE bit about something before going off like some expert. And no this polar bear would NOT have been happier in the wild! This was a 8 min. Video watch the long doc in her and you’ll see the bond they both share…..she’d be so unhappy without him…..by your logic dogs should have NEVER EVER domesticated huh? Or any animal like a cat……🙄🤡

@felixdacat4941 2 ай бұрын

@@6Haunted-Days Its real sad how many people don't understand how rehabbing works. Of all the animals for Aggie it would be the hardest, there would be no way AT ALL she'd be able to hunt prey like walrus or belugas in the wild, yet alone be able to defend herself from other polar bears, walrus defending themselves, etc. out there. She wouldn't even know how to catch seals. And yes she'll end up seeking out humans, even without the intention to do harm humans will poach her for entering their villages. At least now she's safe in an AZA certified establishment, their polar bear exhibit is actually very gorgeous too with plenty of space to swim and lots of land room from the pictures I've seen. I've heard the staff is passionate about her and it seems like she's thriving there pretty well.
