The Speed of a Polar Bear | Ricky Garni

A polar bear can run up to speeds of 24.8 miles an hour.
That is what my friend Alexa told me. Who would think
a polar bear could run that fast? You can ride your auto beside
its running form, just make sure that your speed never drifts
below 24.8 miles an hour. 25, just to be on the safe side.

By the way, Alexa is not really my friend. She is more like
a computer that looks like a can of soup at a funeral.
