okay. i dont have the cords either but im pretty sure the place is called the North Gate Pass or something like that. anyway go to the northern gate and after you go through the tunnel and your running by the fort house thing turn left and you should see some snow cats. keep going and you should see a little forested area and back there your going to see a polar bear named Mangeclaw.
hes lvl 11 and apparently has a swipe move that interrupts taming so be careful. try letting him beat on you until he swipes then start taming, its much easier.
