In the '80s when I was a flight attendant for an Alaskan-based airline, we took an orphaned polar bear (baby) in our combi 737-200 a/c to Anchorage.  Combi being an a/c fitted for cargo in front and passenger seats in the rear.

Cute little fella - only believe me, its stench was nauseous.  I'll never forget it - second only to the time when some fishermen took off their boots during taxi and we had to turn back to the gate for locate the source of rotten socks and decayed fish.

Don't mess with Arctic wildlife is the moral of the story.  As cute and cuddly as their appear, they'll kill you in a second.  They are fast and extremely powerful.

Then there was the time we hauled a sled dog team back to Anchorage because there wasn't enough snow on the trail for them to pull the sleds (during the Iditarod race from Anchorage to Nome).  As I crept by them while taking coffee to the pilots, they didn't bark whatsoever.  But still it was creepy to see all those eyes staring at me - within inches of their cages.

Lots of stories of Alaska and I flew all around that state.  But what's worse was the human predators.  That's for another day.

Original Message Russian Arctic town suffers POLAR BEAR INVASION, dozens of predators ‘won’t go away’.

A state of emergency has been declared in the Russian Arctic archipelago of Novaya Zemlya, as locals face a massive “invasion” of polar bears, with over 50 predators seeking food and harassing residents in the urban landscape.
The move was announced Saturday after several weeks of close encounters between locals and the fearsome furry beasts.

“People are fearful, they are afraid to go outside, daily life is in turmoil, parents are wary of letting children to go to schools and kindergartens,” deputy head of the local administration, Aleksandr Minayev, said in a statement.

The town of Belushya Guba seems to be the most affected by the polar bear problem, with at least 52 specimen roaming around the vicinity. A bunch of videos have emerged online showing the bears strolling down the snowy streets, digging through food waste – and even trying to invade homes.
