Oh, if you're particular to the white ones, it's the -40° that'll kill you. Not the bear.

wieson ,

Yeah... the -40° and the opened abdomen

vrighter ,

celsius or fahrenheit?

fjordbasa ,

Yes

Colour_me_triggered ,

Both

wieson ,

I got another one:

The -40° acute angle of your neck

Anticorp ,

They'll both kill ya, it's just that the cold is more likely to get to you first if you're unprepared. If you're prepared then the bear will have a nice wrapped meal.

As the bodies on Mount Everest shows us, it's easy to not be prepared for the levels of cold it can get in some places on earth such as the poles.

Fun trivia: In To Build A Fire which takes place in the Yukon, Jack London notes that it's -70°

This is to say, the secret ending is that the dog didn't make it (or did only by a miracle of probability).

My favorite poem ever about the cold is The Cremation Of Sam McGee.
