I'm pretty sure Norway/Sweden have polar bears

Sweden does not have Polar bears. They don't live in Scandinavia. Norway has Polar bears but only in Svalbard.

But the numbers listed in the graphic for Norway are also way off....

Pretty sure? The common joke about foreigners who don’t know anything about Sweden is “I bet you think polar bears walk on the street here”.
There are none of them in neither mainland Norway nor in Sweden or Finland.

I dont think the polar bears would want to join the EU either.
