It is somewhat curious how the Apetor is very similar to the great Norwegian Polar Bear, except for one key difference. Where the Polar Bear will gorge itself on food and then hibernate for the winter, the Apetor gorges itself on vodka and then has a habit of taking dips in water and snow. Leading scientists believe that this creates some sort of "ice armor" to help defend himself from attackers when he goes on his daily vodka hunts.
