在全球暖化下,再發生北極熊吃小北極熊的悲慘事件。女攝影師羅斯( Jenny Ross)在挪威北端斯瓦爾巴群島( Svalbard archipelago)水域,目擊一隻成年雄性北極熊吃同類的震撼場面,其間另一隻相信是小熊媽媽的雌熊,只能無奈看着小熊慘變同類的點心。9 |# E; n) c' e O P

她說:「獵殺其他北極熊是其中一種覓食方法,而對成年北極熊來說可能更是相對容易。似乎在浮冰逐漸縮小下,這樣的行為將越來越常見。」 tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb* W# w) j1 h. [. {) F5 v5 T

對上一次有人目擊北極熊吃同類的場面,是 2009年 11月,一群遊客在加拿大北部馬尼托巴省( Manitoba)的邱吉爾野生動物管理區,目睹一隻成年雄性北極熊,相信是在餓極下,強行將一隻小北極熊從牠的熊媽媽身邊搶走,然後一口咬斷牠的頭。5.39.217.760 Y+ R" Q( _9 G5 z k

As such, many Polar Bears died of starvation as they cannot go into the waters to hunt for food without the aid of floating icebergs. It is truly a tragedy, and very sad to find Polar Bears left with no other options but to eat one of its own kind for the means of survival.

It would be quite soon, that the human race's territory n living lifestyle be in danger point as well if we do not help save the global warming and each offered to play a part in effort and support in the global warming.
