Are polar bears left handed?

Polar bears are not left handed. The myth is as following: Did you now that ALL polar bears are left handed. When stalking prey on the ice, a polar bear draws his right paw across his black nose, hiding his primary dark body part, the better to successfully sneak up on his next meal. (Some polar bears also squeeze their eyes almost closed, for even more complete camouflage.) Then, the bear batters his lunch to death with his stronger, dominant, left paw. But this is a myth.

Why are a group of polar bears called a celebration?

Polar bears are solitary animals, so there is not an officially recognized word for 'herd of polar bears', just as there is no word for 'herd of crocodiles'. In cases where other species of bears commonly live together, a group is called a 'sloth' (don't ask). Probably at some point someone just came up with the word because of the idea that if these solitary animals gathered for some reason (which is usually the discovery of a big juicy carcass or other source of food) they look like a group celebrating something with a good meal.
