Here are some animals you will find up North:


The Polar Bear. Everybody knows about 'em, but I definitely know that not a lot of people consider them dangerous, but rather a cute and cuddly white-ish bear... they'll rip your head off and eat you.

The Arctic Rabbit. They taste really good.

The Kodiak Bear is a big ass fucking brown bear. They can get bigger than a polar bear, and like any bear will rip your head off and eat you. FYI brown bear if it is fixed right doesn't taste that bad.

This isn't the best pic I could find, but you get the idea:
