    I was thinking of something and seems like there are alot of animals in the world with the wrong names. the polar bear being the first one to come to mind. Think about it. First the animal is bi-sexual because all animals are bi-sexual. When in heat they will mate with other polar bear whether it is male or female. I tend to think humans also have this hidden trait as well but other things drive us to having a more specific sexual preference.

    Then there is the mental state of the animal. One minute it might be calm and the next it is a vicious wild animal. this constant set of mood swings seems to be a bi-polar mental condition,hence the animal deserves to have that aspect represented in his name.

    I think if you cut in half a bi-polar bear's brain, you have polar opposites.

    Just don't eat its liver. That also goes for the livers of bearded seal, walrus and moose.

    I say we just call them "bears" - why all the unnecessary distinctions?

    I always thought polar bears were pretty cool creatures.

    I mean, they're always going with the floe.

    what makes you believe that all animals are by nature bisexual? In my experience as a biologist heterosexuality is the rule, with 1-5 % homosexual individuals depending on the species (absolutely nothing wrong with that, of course, except from the genetical point of view, what with them not passing on their genetical info to the next generation due to a lack of propagation)

    The problem is the polar bear doesn't know any of this stuff. All he knows is he is horny and he has got to stick his thing into something.

    Bi-polar jokes suck people. They help perpetuate all kinds of ignorance about the disorder and about mental health issues.
