Apparently, polar bears do not actually hibernate. Only pregnant females take some kind of power nap during the winter. So you may want to change that answer.

Changed, thanks. Brown bears and polar bears are pretty close in size anyway, and we already accepted both answers.

If polar bears hibernated, they would starve to death. They lose weight all summer waiting for winter to return so that they can hunt. Shorter winters are making for scrawnier polar bears, and perhaps their eventual extinction.

I thought they hibernated, too. Then I got chased by one on Dec. 26 at Point Barrow, Alaska (jumped back into car and got away).

"[I] saw it in a documentary," is not an acceptable citation for scholarly research.

I (Australia) haven't seen Mello Yello for at least 20 years, but I thought it was more like the local lemon squash brand Solo...coincidentally (?) Mountain Dew has become much more prominent here in the same 20 years

I typed in "TILDA" ... because that's what the word sounds like to me ... so can we please give credit for both the correct "TILDE" and also the close (but technically incorrect) "TILDA" ?

Top Gear was only hosted by Jason Dawe in 2002. Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond hosted it from 2002-2015, while James May hosted from 2003-2015. I think Dawes name should be replaced with May. He’s the one everyone associated with the show. No one remembers the other guy.
