Is Adopting An Orphaned Polar Bear The Correct Play At This Stage In My Life?




So I'm 25 and at a super weird point in my life.  All I do is research crazy schemes, talents, and animals these days so I figure  that adopting an orphaned polar bear is par for the course.  

Pros:
-It's cute as hell
-Doesn't seem to know it's a polar "bear" yet
-Potentially the illest companion you can have
-Better than a guard dog
-Will view me as a mother-father hybrid
-I will name it Ashy Larry

Cons:
-Bears get really weird around Charmin toilet paper
-Picture 2 makes me very nervous
-It's a bear and will eventually realize it's a bear
-Climate/General maintenance issues will 100% cause it to die
-He doesn't look like a good problem solver in picture 3.
-The novelty of owning a bear will wear off fairly quick and then I'll just be stuck with a bear

Ok, fine, I won't click "send" on this lengthy email explaining why I'm an ideal candidate for bear adoption.  Frankly it's irresponsible of CNN to post these pics without knowing the lengths that a quarter-life crisis'ing blogger will go.  I was inches away from buying an IGUANA for pete's sake.  Iguanas are basically plants 2.0.  Fuck would I do with an iguana?  

Be good little polar bear, thank all the bear gods that you didn't stumble into my life somehow.

    Con #1 is the only one you need. Very insightful. Last thing you need when you have a lovely lady friend over is for her to think you're some sort of neanderthal who doesn't anticipate running out of toilet paper.
