"First i went to the pits of africa, and even with a broken leg, i fought off lion. Then in the middle of the ocean, i managed to fight of a killer shark even though my oar was broken and huge storm with high tides was goin on.Then i managed to fight off a polar bear in the dead of winter at the south pole, even when i had a horrible cold with no weapons. Pretty amazing eh!"

Close enough. The historical answer is alcohol, and both answers you gave can mean the same thing in this sense.

umm...air, atmosphere, a cool summer breeze, UV light, saran-wrap? Hell I don't know

Ill give a hint to my riddle: To find the answer, you have to have some sommon common knowledge of uncommon knowledge.The reason people dont know the answer is because of common misconseption.

Here are some things that strike me as possible common misconceptions ( I don't even know if I am right or wrong about them)
-polar bears hibernate during the winter don't they?
-killer sharks, do they travel that far away from coastlines?
-And from what I see on the discovery channel, it's always dead of winter at the SP

Actually let me rephrase this, there is a common misconception that may lead you to the answer.It is not the answer in its entirety

Ya, as far as I knew there aren't any polar bears in antarctica / sp . You got penguins and sea lions and some birds, but no polar bears. They live in/around the arctic circle.
