When the kids were small we had one as a pet. It got out of its cage one night and we couldn't find it. We looked everywhere and the kids were understandably upset, as they'd become fond of it.Anyway, it just turned up a week later, none the worse for wear. I think it survived because of its ability to store food in its cheeks.The pet shop that sold it to us did advise that they could become ferocious, but we thought they were teasing. Unhappily it died after a couple of years, before it could grow into an adult polar bear.They make great pets if you have small (not large, mind) children.GL
Mind you I never had the courage to tell Hercules that he was on the bell.
