Aug 7, 2009: Whale of a Meal

Having a whale of a time: The amazing moment a polar bear feasts on the blubbery remains of a dead orca.

That's not an Orca. But anyway, the bear is willing to share with the Gulls, but I wonder what would happen if another bear arrived?

The polar bear is an enormously powerful predator, able to kill an adult walrus, although it rarely attempts to as a walrus can be more than twice the bear's weight. The whales are of similar size to the walrus and nearly as difficult for the bear to subdue. Most terrestrial animals in the Arctic can outrun the polar bear on land as polar bears overheat quickly, and most marine animals the bear encounters can outswim it.
