they'd love it, until it swiped at them with those (non-retracting) claws... and then when it doubled its mass and looked at them as tasty walking tidbits.
Cute as newborns. Terrifying even half-grown. I have never understood the idjits who think taunting a polar bear, even caged, is a good idea. Human=crunchy bits...
They're not born with them (ow!) but they develop by 4-6 months, based on the one baby I got to see up close (OMG adorable until you looked closely at the paws and teeth, at which point some instinct kicks in and you go "ulp")
(one of my characters in the Retrievers book is based, physically, on a polar bear, so I did some research before-paw)
