Kowalski 7 | 621 1 Apr 2008 #1The guy in Koluszki survived polar bear attack. The bear jumped on him while he was sleeping in his tent and he managed to get it off of him and shoot it . I wonder where he had his gun from. Anyway it should be a warning for all you tourists planning to visit Poland early spring.
RockyMason 19 | 250 1 Apr 2008 #5Polar bears are scary! Especially b/c they are too big to kill with a small caliber weapon.

Wroclaw 44 | 5,369 1 Apr 2008 #7Anyway it should be a warning for all you tourists planning to visit Poland early spring.I've always understood that the Brown Footed Mazurian Bear is far more dangerous than the pure white bear.The Brown Footed has a habit of catching sailors and overturning boats on the lakes, in summer.

wildrover 98 | 4,438 1 Apr 2008 #9Don,t shoot the bears.......if you are going to bear country there are things you can do to avoid becoming a bears dinner....most bear attacks occur because some muppet has got too close to one , or attracted it by leaving food near a campsite.....Killing them should be the last resort......

TICKLED PINK 10 Feb 2010 #25Please, note that there are no polar bears in Poland!Quite true, just worry about the ordinary bears.You know,........ the brown ones with big teeth.Not to mention the wolves and wild boars too.
asik 2 | 220 11 Feb 2010 #27Don't you believe we have a bears in Poland?Read this : poland4all.com/subject.cfm?id=72&category=6
wildrover 98 | 4,438 11 Feb 2010 #28Nooo there are no bears...its a misspelling...its actually beans that they have in Polska , not bears....Heinz beans are the most aggressive...
marqoz - | 195 11 Feb 2010 #29I met bears two times in 80s in Tatra mountains - first seen from large distance while eating berries on the slope, second when he attacked a mountain shelter home Dolina Roztoki in the wake of food. In fact it was Eurasian brown bear (PL: Niedźwiedź brunatny, LA: Ursus arctos arctos) not grizzly, which is a larger subspecies. Third time there were only an alert from national park service about some bear winding in vicinity and attacking sheep.So don't try to make fun of it. It's very serious ;-)
wildrover 98 | 4,438 11 Feb 2010 #30They are not real bears...its just Polish students in furry suits...dressing up to amuse the tourists...everyone knows this....
