It got me wondering, are polar bears effective hunters in the water? If a polar bear was hungry enough, or agitated enough to identify a kayaker as a potential target, would they attack in the water? How worried would this kayaker have to be? Could the kayaker likely paddle faster than the polar bear can swim?

There was recently posted a photo of a person kayaking in Arctic waters that I found fascinating. (http://www.thegoldenscope.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/nature2.jpg)
