This is absolute rubbish. How can it be proved?
I agree with Chris but, The American Museum of Natural History’s website states:
“the polar bear is left-handed”. http://www.amnh.org/Museum_Shops/childrens.html
Is there any scientific fact that states this? I know Eskimos knowledge about this can be truth, but has this been proven???
This is false.
There is no evidence. Polar bears aren’t left or right handed, they don’t have a preference because a) they don’t have hands and b) they don’t write. It doesn’t matter to them which paw they use.
polar bears are ambidextrous
I have looked at the script.,
I have loved your site for its useful and funny content and simple design.,
they are its a fact
See http://www.polarbearsinternational.org/bear-facts/myths-and-misconceptions/
And you will see that it is a myth that polar bears are left handed. A very persistant myth, but still a myth.
