Subject: Polar Bears & Grizzly Bears

Posted by: TheRambler
Date: May 08 10

I watched a really moving but very interesting Natural World programme last night, about these two types of bears. It was a remarkable story of how because of global warming, the two bears now meet and sometimes interbreed. It followed the story of two mothers and their cubs and how the Polar Bear was only looking to kill seals to eat. The Grizzly mum was eating berries, shellfish, rodents and even grass. The Polar Bear tried eating kelp because it was starving but if it had gone for the shellfish, it would have got so much more protein. I really hope that the Polar Bears' intelligence will win through and they will take note of what their Grizzly cousins are doing and evolve back into omnivores rather than carnivores and they will be saved when the Artic ice shrinks back for good. Anybody see it?

Yes, I saw that show a few weeks ago. I always wondered why polar bears don't go after food on land as well as hunting marine mammals. Hopefully they will be able to adapt before they become extinct.

I love polar bears, I didn't see the programme you shared about, but I just wanted to say, I love polar bears! Always wonder for those that are in danger of the ice melting, why don't they rescue them and put them in a zoo?
