Yesterday we discovered some very interesting facts about polar bears. Like males can weight up to 650kg, they have 42 teeth including large incisors that can lock on to their prey, they have no natural predators, their skin is black, their fur hairs are transparent and despite their ability to kill a man if they wanted to they are really, really cute. Just magnificent creatures really. We were lucky enough to see one up close and personal playing with his yellow toy (which he overwhelmed and captured) and where he was lumbering on the snow, he was graceful and agile in the water.
It was the little black and white chaps that amused me though. They clamoured near us in groups and were much taller (Emporer Penguins) than I imagined. They really looked like stuffed toys that waddled stiffly, wings outstretched, across the ice.
But in the end it was the lady sitting in front of us that got the most laughs for the day. Watching the dolphins, minding her own business, she let out a shriek when a large poop came dropping from the sky all over her head and legs. They say that being pooped on by a bird is good luck so if that’s true then going by the amount of poop that dropped on her she’s going to have a LOT of luck. Who knew a seagull had that much poop in them!
