Aug 7, 2009: Whale of a Meal

ZenGum · 08-06-2009, 11:17 PM

I have seen footage of polar bears killing whales, I think orcas.

The whales were trapped under an ice floe with only a small hole to come up and breathe through. A couple of bears lurked at the top and as a whale came up, jumped in a mauled it. The whales had no choice but to keep coming there for air. Eventually one was killed, then the bears dragged it up on the ice. It weighed 8 to ten times what a bear weighs.

... and yet, I still want to hug a polar bear.
