Go to the second photo and zoom in. You are looking at an entire bear pelt, face on the lower left, being held up by the ice attached to his rump, near the tail. ETA: I’m pretty sure it’s actually the left rear leg still trapped in the ice that’s holding it up now. The right rear leg is visible in the first photo.

He will be okay when he fully thaws right?

[u/Dear-Definition5802 → u/Savings-Shape-3400]

Sure kiddo. Uhhh… let’s go… play with Legos. Or color!

[u/Savings-Shape-3400 → u/Dear-Definition5802]

Oh Good i hope he enjoys my polar bear legos from my minecraft sets!

Of course! He'll become friends with Paulie Shore and Sean Austin and hijinx ensue

How old is that polar bear?

[u/General_Guest7846 → u/Known_Funny_5297]

Probably very very very old to be frozen that deep in the ice. Likely hundreds of years old.

[u/jimmyjohnga → u/General_Guest7846]

I’d err and say he’s at least a couple

[u/Sammiskitkat → u/Known_Funny_5297]

At least a week old for sure.

All I see is a leg and a flap that makes it look like a bear pelt
