One...Two...Three...Four...Five...Uhhhhhh, Nine?


Monday, July 16, 2007

Steve Crandall, who writes one of the "smart" blogs I read regularly called "tingilinde", posted a factoid I had never heard before: polar bears can count to five...but that's it. Polar bears are known to attack groups of hunters, but only if there are five or fewer in the group. More than that, and they will run away. It's a well-known fact...at least among the locals in the Arctic areas where people and polar bears co-exist.

Here's a close-up of a polar bear's paw, which has five toes. Eventually those bears are going to figure out how to use more than one paw to count.
