Hyack Hyack:
I can't see the males predating on new born cubs which only weigh a couple of pounds. Stirling said between 2004 and 2006, he and other researchers found evidence of cannibalism in the carcasses of three adult females and one yearling.
“Killed, simply to be eaten.”
Nick Lunn, another Environment Canada scientist who’s spent decades studying the bears of Wapusk National Park near Churchill, said he saw polar bears eating other polar bear carcasses four times this fall. He couldn’t confirm the bears killed their meal themselves.
Bill Watkins, a zoologist with Manitoba Conservation, reports he hears about one or two cases of cannibalism a year. He said it’s possible more cases have been seen this year because more tourists are on the land
And yeah a new born would just be a snack, but unless I'm missing it some where they aren't saying how old the cubs are.
We're not going to agree, but I got chicken wings to cook for tomorrow. If we keep going we're going to repost the whole story here.
