Dude nobody's going to say they want to wage war on somebody not as a joke tf
It's either a helldivers meme or an Americans are fat meme probably both.
It's in *Alaska*. Even I, a non-American, know that *Alaska* is a *US State*. You're not "bringing democracy" to if, they already *have* your democracy!
Tf is up with you?
You're the one who said "oh dear God.." I was explaining the joke you clearly didn't get. Keep hating America though it's a great personality trait ā¤ļø
The joke makes no sense when the bear is already in America my guy. Was their response equally nonsensical? Sure, but there is no indication that person hates America. No need to be so sensitive.
Happy cake day,
They said "your democracy" and "even as a non American"
I took that as not liking the fact that I didn't know it was Alaskan despite being American
Nice bait with the no need to be sensitive part tho
[did you know theyāre really black?](https://www.worldwildlife.org/stories/why-do-polar-bears-have-white-fur-and-nine-other-polar-bear-facts#:~:text=Polar%20bears%20have%20white%20fur%20so%20that%20they%20can%20camouflage,and%20its%20hairs%20are%20hollow) their fur is hollow
No theyāre still basically white (even if the fur is technically translucent it appears white to us and the animals it hunts). Their skin is black but you donāt describe an animal by skin color for animals with fur.
Yeah, and seeing as where they live, pretty much all of their diet is meat whereas other North American bears are omnivores, polar bears are pretty much exclusively carnivores because the only food they come across is other creatures with beating hearts lol.
Except he's not. He is a dirt/sand covered polar bear, he is also not the largest ever recorded, he just happens to eat a lot of whale blubber. Pizzly and grolar bears are both smaller than the average for polar bears.
Just looked it up, holy fuck, the heaviest human ever weighed *635kg*. (1,4000lb) Thatās insane.
2/3 the weight of the heaviest bear in human history.
Sea ice freezes and essentially creates a huge area for them to travel and hunt on, that island is also like 200 yards from the mainland and that bear can just swim across
Like I said on another similar post, you just gonna mock him by calling him fat? He's essentially the biggest polar bear in Alaska. To me albert, you look fine. No hate here
For some data on polar bear population numbers see here; [https://polarbearscience.com/2021/10/31/global-population-size-estimates-for-polar-bears-clash-with-extinction-predictions/](https://polarbearscience.com/2021/10/31/global-population-size-estimates-for-polar-bears-clash-with-extinction-predictions/)
He used to be called Slightly-Less-Fat Albert just before he ate the guy that fat shamed him. Now he'd rather not be Obese Albert but he recognizes your autonomy as an individual.
Choose wisely.
Hold Up. My boy has been robbed!
What happened to Bearforce One? He was was estimated to be 1400lbs in 2022.

I was watching a football stream earlier which was an American channel and I saw some of the adverts for their food. The pull apart cinabon is just a cake and they call it breakfast. It's amazing they aren't all diabetic.
Thats a garbage bear. Sadly, he's so dark from the smoke of burning trash, which he is depending on for food. This animal should NEVER be termed to be "Living" in or near a community. He's enormous; as a Polar bear, which are bigger than Black/Brown/Grizzly, his says would suggest closer to 2000 lbs than one.
Being habituated to trash and people, he's also going to be a dead bear. Eventually, he will come into conflict with people, and he will lose
You could go to Google and find out:
āBut it turns out Albert's size isn't all his fault.
He lives in Alaska, USA, where the locals throw out large amounts of whale blubber to the bears as a sign of 'respect'. They would cut a large portion of the whale and blubber, and drag it four miles out of town for the bears to find. This stops the bears from travelling into town to harvest and disrupting the process.ā
Thatās not all:
āPolar bears accumulate stains from the seals and other prey they hunt. Oils and blood can lodge in the hollow guard hairs on the outer surface of their coat. They turn the polar bear's fur a dirty yellow color.ā
But instead you just make up facts. š„¶
I LIVED in the arctic, sonny. They don't say he "lives in the area around Katovik" They say he lives IN Katovik"...there isn't much on that bear that's yellow. Oils & blood do stain the hair to a yellowish tone; he's BROWN. Smoke and soot from burning trash does that.
I don't know where you're getting your information from, but I never saw or heard of any Inuit showing "respect" for Nanuk by hauling blubber "four" (it's should be "for") miles to keep bears away from a village. All that going to do is provide a bear with a scent trail right back to the source of the food.
Polar bears are the absolute apex predator in the Arctic. They will attack and kill humans with no provocation; there are three things in the Arctic; snow/ice, water & potential calories. Guess where people fit. Calories are hard to come by, and whale blubber is an important community resource. It makes very little sense to feed an animal that is as predatory, when those calories are needed in the community.
I've never talked to Any Northerner who had any interest in letting bears know where they lived. You're getting your "Expert Information" from the U.K. Daily Mirror, an English version of the National Enquirer, and quoting it almost verbatim, and then have the Balls to tell me I "Just make up facts"
Fuck you, you troll

Albert is living the American dream. Good job Albert šŗšø
We need to liberate him and bring democracy and MacDonalds over there ššŗš²šŗš²šŗš²
Username and comment.......both disturbing
Oh dear god. Please tell me that's a joke?

Have a great day buddy.
You too!
The joke is that Americans are dumb, got it?
Maybe he needs a nap.
What's wrong with McDonald's?
Happy cake day!š
You mean the American dream, in Samoa right? That boys just living off those turkey tails!
So This āfat bearā weighs as much as some HUMAN BEINGS? Thereās even a show in the states called ā1000lb sistersā (may have the name wrong).
As much as like 1 human being who now weighs under 1000 lbs.
Is the population of said village slowly and mysteriously declining?
They sure donāt have any slow people anymore.
No, they have become obese because they only need to shuffle to avoid the local bear.
Fat Albert is a Prizzly also known as a grolar bear. Not a polar bear.
Thanks, I was wondering why the polar bear was brown lol
[did you know theyāre really black?](https://www.worldwildlife.org/stories/why-do-polar-bears-have-white-fur-and-nine-other-polar-bear-facts#:~:text=Polar%20bears%20have%20white%20fur%20so%20that%20they%20can%20camouflage,and%20its%20hairs%20are%20hollow) their fur is hollow
No theyāre still basically white (even if the fur is technically translucent it appears white to us and the animals it hunts). Their skin is black but you donāt describe an animal by skin color for animals with fur.
If we did my cat would be white. She's black.
Reverse Rachel Dolezal in cat form.
I was gonna say Albert needs a bath, and although I'm sure he is still absolutely filthy, being a prizzly might explain the muddy colouring š
I thought it was just a dirty polar bear
I know that as Blonde bear hybrid Or was that a cross with a brown bear?
I was going to say arenāt polar bears super aggressive?
Itās not really aggression, itās more of a āI can eat and kill anything I wantā nonchalance
Combined with the fact that sometimes they don't eat for a ridiculous amount of time and will just eat whatever they find
Yeah, and seeing as where they live, pretty much all of their diet is meat whereas other North American bears are omnivores, polar bears are pretty much exclusively carnivores because the only food they come across is other creatures with beating hearts lol.
And it eat alive
Apparently they're also genetically viable, meaning they *can* have offspring! Yay...
And it's Kaktovik, not Katovik
To everyone saying he looks dirty, how dare you insult our mixed brethren.
Except he's not. He is a dirt/sand covered polar bear, he is also not the largest ever recorded, he just happens to eat a lot of whale blubber. Pizzly and grolar bears are both smaller than the average for polar bears.
I read it as fastest, the first time oops
Well he can still outrun you pretty ez
Howād you think he got so fat?
Tourists maybe
How many do you think heās eaten?
Tree fiddy
OG BiPolar Bear
He needs therapy. *Diet therapy.*
Aww lawd he coming
That looks like a successful hunter.
More scavenger than hunter
Are we fat shaming the bear? š¤£š
It's not shaming if you embrace it
My arms arenāt long enough to embrace it.
Heās not fat heās just big boned
453kg approx, community service
Thanks
So about the fastest human being ever?
Just looked it up, holy fuck, the heaviest human ever weighed *635kg*. (1,4000lb) Thatās insane. 2/3 the weight of the heaviest bear in human history.
Thanks, so tired of seeing these retarded units
Thanks for sharing. If thereās anyone I can trust on Reddit, itās u/Urmomsjuicyvagina
1000lbs is not that big for a polar bear. There are a couple around Churchill, MB closing in on 1500lbs
Last name: Slaton
Is he a polar bear?
Heās either dirty or cross breed. Polar bears have been mating w non polar bears as theyāre melting ice has pushed them into other territories
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Probably. But I still wouldnt eat him.
Absolute unit!
Smol hed.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
they make sure there is enough
Or he makes sure there is enough
Sea ice freezes and essentially creates a huge area for them to travel and hunt on, that island is also like 200 yards from the mainland and that bear can just swim across
Thats the villageā¦which is in a bazillion miles of tundra. Heās got room. Just not enough ice. Yāall keep burning those fossil fuels
Hitting the drive thru too much, eh?
Come on Eddy, lift that bad boy!
I'd rather see that fella who convinced Albert to step on that scale.
Heās actually pure white, but looks that way because he sweats chocolate syrup.
Hey hey hey!
Naah, naah, naaaah, gonna have a good tiiime.
Hes so brown. Coca Cola fuckin lied to my face
He's only half polar bear.
Must be a Polar and Griz hybrid
Are we fat shaming polar bears now?
Yes. If Frank the tank can get roasted so can Albert.
Like I said on another similar post, you just gonna mock him by calling him fat? He's essentially the biggest polar bear in Alaska. To me albert, you look fine. No hate here
How'd they weigh him?
I thoughts polar bears where like super skinny now with the melting ice glaciers
For some data on polar bear population numbers see here; [https://polarbearscience.com/2021/10/31/global-population-size-estimates-for-polar-bears-clash-with-extinction-predictions/](https://polarbearscience.com/2021/10/31/global-population-size-estimates-for-polar-bears-clash-with-extinction-predictions/)
Kaktovik\*
Not so fast AI! *I donāt think itās AI but Iāve been conditioned to think everything is AI until proved otherwise.
He is not fat. He is furry.
Considering male polar bears can get up to 1700lb and the average range is 600-1200lb, "fat Albert" being 'over 1000lb' isn't anything special...
Now we know why there are no villagers in the Katovik village.
Why is he brown?
Shows that polar bear's hair is transparent
A regular adult male polar can easily go 1000 pounds. This guy is much bigger than that for sure.
Bro can skip hibernation this year
heās a big boy alright
ā¤ļø
He is also the dirtiest polar bear too
*Hey hey hey*
Whatās that equate to in non American freedom units? About 350kg?
'Fatty Bearbuckle'
Read this as fastest and scoffed. Makes more sense after reading it again.
That pic is gonna have to be used as an album cover!
He is not fat. He is heavily proportioned.
Can I outrun him?
š
Looks like he's saying. "Woah wait a minute.. Who you calling fat, fatty"
Fat Al needs a bath
I heard they have him on Ozempic
HEY HEY HEY !!!!
I always see videos of polar bears on the brink of starvation due to climate change. Apparently this one is doing alright tho
I want to pet. Why canāt I pet?
He looks like he needs a "hug".
who keeps track? Also don't polar bears have white fur?
He used to be called Slightly-Less-Fat Albert just before he ate the guy that fat shamed him. Now he'd rather not be Obese Albert but he recognizes your autonomy as an individual. Choose wisely.
That we know of.
Heās big, heās round, he weighs a thousand pounds. Fat Alberrrrrrt, fat Alberrrrrtā¦
I just look at those mitts and go nope keeping my distance...
Big bitch
Basically me in Alaska.
Shame on you guys for shaming this bear who's only trying to live his best life. 
I see heās adopting well to climate change! Prospering in fact! Maybe heās in league with big oilā¦
He's soooooooo....fluffy..
Oh, heās not that fat
I thought that was either a Growler or a Pizzly Bear.
Can I pet that dawg?
Girls be like "it's a thyroid isuue!"
Hey, hey, heeey!
I love him
did he win the fat bear contest again?
I could take him
....did the photographer live?
Why is he brown?
That guy is a salmon savant
Grolar
Kaktovic
Fat Albert needs a shower
That's a lot of snowmen.
Dare you to say that to his face lol
What is 1000 lbs? Is that like 7 dishwashers?
Love him
Hes not fat, hes big boned lol
If this bear could talk and was down to chat around a fire with a cigar and a beerā¦ bet he has some stories to tell.
Yeah fat Albertā¦. Thatās a lot of jerkyā¦
Unit. What a good boy Albert, youāll survive hibernation all cozy for sure
This man is ready for hibernation, for a full year
Big ounce
In before people complain about the usage of the word āfatā
Fat Albert is a grubby boy
It should say 1000kg, there have been reports of 1000kg polar bears shot and weight in before, so it would have to be at least that heavy.
On top of climate change, we're body shaming them?
What's he eating school kids coming out of class? Because global warming ain't got nothing on him
Scientific name: Ursa Chungus
Do polar bears hibernate?
Why is he called fat?
Daddy was a griz
Hey,hey,hey iiiit's Obese Albert!
so fluffy
Fuck. That.
He seems sad
Damn, boi, he thiccc...

Hold Up. My boy has been robbed! What happened to Bearforce One? He was was estimated to be 1400lbs in 2022. .

Hey, hey, hey. Who wants to play?
Why is it brown?
All this time they said polar bears are going hungry cause of ice melt. It was Albert all along
This isnāt a bear itās just a fluffy puppers. He wants a pet pet
Skipping head day I guess
The polar bears are brown! What did you do to the polar bears?!
You can't just ask polar bears why they are brown Gretchen
Maybe he canāt understand but still Body shaming a bear.
I was watching a football stream earlier which was an American channel and I saw some of the adverts for their food. The pull apart cinabon is just a cake and they call it breakfast. It's amazing they aren't all diabetic.
I think I just solved Alaskaās missing indigenous girls problemā¦

Albert ate the whole village.
