The video was shared on Twitter by IAS officer Supriya SahuNew Delhi: A video of a polar bear crossing an ice sheet is the Internet’s latest source of a life lesson. What makes this video different is that instead of walking on all fours, the polar bear lies down and slides its way on the ice sheet, using its forelimbs to move.“How to navigate through ice sheet without breaking it – ditto for life. Life lesson from a polar bear,” read the caption of the video shared by Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Supriya Sahu on Twitter.How to navigate through ice sheet without breaking it – ditto for life ????

Many highlighted how the polar bear made sure to not break the ice sheet by sliding instead of walking.“Pura scientific funda lagaya hain polar bear ne. While standing, the weight of the bear is concentrated in a small area but while laying down flat, weight is distributed on an area equal to the bear’s body surface area,” a user explained.Pura scientific funda lagaya hain polar bear ne.

But how do the bear figured this out … That amazed me— Sudipta Ranjan Das (@i_srd) October 14, 2022“Increase the surface area of contact and distribute the over all pressure exerted so that at anu square inch there is a very small force acting. Who taught him that?” wrote a user.Increase the surface area of contact and distribute the over all pressure exerted so that at anu square inch there is a very small force acting.
