About 'Sea Bear' problem I have another question.
In my English-Japanese Dictionary, 'white bear' means 'polar bear'.
Is there any differnce of nuance between them.
We have Japanese words 'shirokuma' and 'hokkyokuguma' corresponding to 'white bear' and 'polar bear'.
I feel word 'white bear' is relatively plain or for children. What do you feel??
