Do polar bears occupy habitat that could realistically be called “the woods”?

I always assumed this question was referring to a brown bear - black bears are pussies and polar bears are instadeath. Pandas are adorable, obviously better than meeting a man. Other species are unlikely for most english speaking people to meet in the woods. Brown bears are the only species that make this question interesting.

Where I'm from, you're just as likely to get a polar bear as a black or brown bear in the woods. So it's all unrealistic.

A polar bear in the woods? They're an aquatic mammal that lives on sea ice... Where are you from?

a black bear did drop on a hunter and killed it in the news last year.

Would you rather have a man drop on you in the woods or a black bear?

You forgot the Dropbears. Want to reassess relative threat levels of the various species of alpha predator?

Yeah I'd pick a man of a dropbear any day 🐨🩸☠️
