In the clip, the polar bear stood on her hind legs for a moment before making the dive. As one commenter pointed out, it was almost as if the animal was waiting to make sure people were observing her! Next, she let herself fall forward into the water, maintaining the same posture the entire time. Who would have thought that a bear could deliver such a master class in physical comedy?
“You never know what these bears will be up to each day!” the Alaska Zoo wrote in their caption. “That’s why you should plan a zoo visit.”
At the end of the clip, you can hear an observer exclaim, “That was awesome!” Everyone in the comments loved this polar bear’s flawless dive, too. Some joked that the animal should compete in the Olympics!
“Perfect 10,” wrote one user. “No notes.”
Another added, “Too cool!! Olympic material!”
A third person said, “Awesome belly flop. That’s a 10+.”
