Unfortunately there is actually no evidence to back up the claim that all polar bears, Ursus Maritimus - which means 'sea bear', are left-handed. Scientists say that polar bears actually appear to be ambidextrous - and favour both paws equally.

According to Polar Bears International : "There is no evidence to support the notion that all great white bears are left pawed. Scientists observing the animals haven't noticed a preference. In fact, polar bears seem to use their right and left paws equally."

They'll just use whichever paw is best for the task at hand and often use both paws at the same time to grab their prey and dig with.

The same applies to when they swim - they just use their large front paws to propel themselves forward and their back legs to steer.
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous!!:rolleyes:

Whilst Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon, Buzz Aldrin was the first man to piss on the moon.

Buzz Aldrin said his improvised golf shot on the moon ‘went for miles and miles’.

The ball was recently spotted during lunar survey work….it went less than forty yards.
