For an amateur fake, it isn't _that_ bad, but the only place in mainland
Norway (afaik) where you can see a real polar bear would be in the
streets of Tromsų where there at least used to be a stuffed bear outside
a downtown store. (Maybe the tourist information?)

(Zoo specimens don't count of course.)

PS. A cousin of mine used to live in a huge old house near Trondheim,
her entrance hall had a huge (stuffed) polar bear, standing on two legs.
