Once again, a video of a polar bear killing a woman is circulating on Facebook!
However, what looks like the link to a video with the polar bear is just a clickbait trap to get Facebook users to accept so-called push notifications from various websites. These push messages in turn lead to dubious and dubious offers! These are the following status posts on Facebook:
In the picture, which shows a play button in the middle and thus suggests that you can watch a video, you can see a polar bear that pounces on a woman in the water, and at the bottom right there is a photo that is supposed to show the supposed woman.

If you click or tap on the article, you will be taken to a page that looks like Facebook and asks you to share the video before you can see it:
What kind of push notifications do you get?
No serious news! In addition to links to dating sites and competitions , you also receive messages that you supposedly malware on your computer that can only be removed with a very expensive program (so-called “ scareware ”), but this is just advertising.
There is no polar bear video at all!
What you can see there as a supposed video dates back to 2009! On Good Friday 2009, the suicidal Mandy K. climbed over the barrier of the polar bear enclosure in the Berlin Zoo and jumped into the water. She was attacked by two polar bears, but was saved in time by the zookeepers with serious injuries. The photo (!) comes from a photographer named “ Radzick” , it is not from a video.
Conclusion
There was and is no video to be seen at any time. It's just a matter of allowing notifications from the site. These push notifications are quite annoying and lead to sex dating sites and dubious competitions run by data collectors!
