"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 20

Happy Monday! I know I missed a couple of these but I am back on track now that the flood waters have receded. Remember, the WIFIMEM posts are not verified or confirmed in anyway. I just post 'em as I get 'em.

Here's the story as I received it.

It happened in Shishmaref, AK. Shishmaref is in the Nome-region of Alaska, up north, on the west coast.

A photographer was attempting to take some pictures of a polar bear when a game of "Alaskan Tag" ensued. I guarantee you don't want to be it! If you ever feel like you're getting the run-a-round, just remember this guy.

I don't know why the guy didn't just get in the truck! Maybe he didn't have time. Obviously he ran to another vehicle. If you will notice the truck in the first 2 pictures is different than the last 4. The first truck and the photographers tripod are to the left of the 2nd vehicle.

I'll have to admit, the 4th picture is my favorite. I think the bear was playing with the guy but that doesn't explain why the person taking the pictures didn't help out. He just kept snapping pictures. Thanks a lot buddy!

Even though this wasn't a very big bear, I can honestly say that I never want to be in this situation with a polar bear. Polar bears are VERY dangerous critters.

Have a great week everyone!

Wow! I'd have messed my drawers. I agree, the 4th is the best - if only they were wild animals, it might be fun to wrestle with one.

I suppose I would wrestle with one if he didn't have his claws and teeth. Even at that, they are very strong critter. Thanks for stopping by MO!
