The Benefits Of Being A Polar Bear Zookeeper

Hi –

I’m writing on behalf of Good Morning America and ABC News. We absolutely love the pictures you posted on your website showing the trainer and his polar bear and we’d like to share it with our viewers!

We would like to request permission to show this video on GMA (and across our ABC News shows and platforms, which is seen worldwide and on all media).

Please let us know (1) If you shot the video and/or are authorized to distribute the footage; and (2) if we may have permission. Also, please tell us what screen credit you’d like to accompany the footage.

And can you provide some more details about these photos?

Thanks in advance,
Danielle Librizzo

So incredible !

I love polar bears but i can’t give them a huge hug because it’s a bit dangerous. This man is very lucky, pics are awesome.

Dude that bear is so lucky and brave!

Fantastic, I love polar bears, in this case seems to see a big cat.

P.S. I found this site using Stumble Upon

Hey ABC perhaps you should contact the creator of that media and offer to PAY them for it.

You guys know what bears are pretty closely related to? Dogs. The training is harder (seeing as they haven’t been domesticated for hundreds of years) and they eat more, but they may as well be a lumbering “man’s best friend”… that may or may not devour you and your family, but I want one regardless

Great shots of these magnificent animals. I imagine that guy has been the zoo keeper for many years to be able to communicate and play with these polar bears like this. What zoo is this from?

Don’t forget to ask ABC for some cash for your work.
