Polar Bear And Human Go Paw To Paw

With a typical polar bear paw growing to almost 12 inches, the human hand is understandably small in comparison to it. The cool weather carnivore needs that girth to keep itself stable even as it treads on thin ice in the Arctic.

Meanwhile, the human hand is more delicate in structure and measures around 7.6 inches on average for men and 6.8 inches for women. But as vulnerable as our hands might be compared to our animal cousins, they allow us to do pretty impressive stuff, from gripping to crafting a variety of weapons.
