Feast Fit for a Polar Bear - When Lunch Comes in Whale-Sized Portions!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Ardea Picture Library, we witness the incredible sight of a majestic polar bear indulging in an extraordinary meal. The scene unfolds on Spitsbergen Island, Norway, where nature's drama takes center stage. With its sharp fangs and watchful eyes, our furry protagonist seizes the opportunity to savor every morsel of a dead fin whale at Sallyhammna Harbor. This Arctic predator knows how to make the most out of an unexpected feast! As clouds loom overhead on this overcast day, it seems that even Mother Nature is captivated by this grisly spectacle. The sheer size of the carcass highlights just how formidable these magnificent creatures truly are. With blubber aplenty and their white coats glistening against the cloudy backdrop, these endangered species showcase their resilience amidst challenging Arctic conditions. As Paul Souders expertly captures this moment in time, we can't help but marvel at the untamed wilderness unfolding before us. It serves as a reminder that even within Europe's borders lies a world untouched and wild – where wildlife reigns supreme. So next time you're feeling peckish or craving adventure, take inspiration from our polar bear friend here – go big or go home! Just maybe leave the fin whales off your menu. . .
