'cute' doesn't quite describe this thing

Up in Alaska an Inuit was out after polar bear for subsistence (meaning legal) and nailed one. Upon close-up examination he realized it was a nursing momma who had a cub somewhere nearby.

After finding it he and his partner toted the 17lb. cub 40 miles to the nearest town and turned it over to the USFWS.

It's currently sitting at the state's zoo as they figure out what to do with it.

    very cool. So young it looks like it still has trouble getting around.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Kinda surprised they turned it in. The pelt would be just about the right size to line a hood. Nice and soft too. [}:)][;)]

    Many Native Americans venerated what they killed, even holding ceremonies to pay homage to that which had given its life to sustain them.
