WOW! Thanks,for posting.
This photo must be faked because Noah Wyle said all of the Polar Bears are stranded on ice bergs because of global warming.
Thus in fact it was before the flood and hopefully one day may be again.
Pretty cool!
I hope the Polar bear isn’t just feeling him up for fat content...
bttt
Just wow.
I hope these photos are real and not like the photos of the cheetah brothers “playing” with a baby impala that were posted in the UK Daily Mail yesterday.
Amazing animal photos ping!
Sweet Jesus.
There is a similar story out of Africa where a lioness stayed with a small gazelle and nurtured it while not eating for weeks. She literally almost starved herself to help this baby. Alas, she was too week to fend off a predator of her own species.
“The Lion laid down with the Lamb.”
I’m getting rather introspective lately. Please don’t flame away or take it personally.
Wonder if it was a female bear who had lost her cubs. (Bears typically give birth to two cubs every year in spring.)
JUNIOR!!! How many times have I told you not to play with your food!
Awww...
These came out a while ago. For whatever reason the bear just wanted to play, and wasn’t in a hungry mood.
Scientists tell us that bears and dogs share a common ancestor. About 38 million years ago, the bear and dog lines separated into two distinct groups. The bear group began to walk on the soles of their feet while the dog group (called “canids” which includes modern day dogs, wolves and foxes) continued to walk on their toes. As bears evolved into omnivores, which means they began to include plant material in their diet, their gut became longer. Since plants take longer to digest than meat, plant eating animals need longer guts than carnivores. The bears teeth also changed over time. Canids tear their food when they eat, and have typical carnivorous teeth - small pointed front teeth and pointed molars. But bears crush and grind their food and therefore have short front teeth and rounded molars.
They are also both in the order of mammals known as carnivora, and in the same suborder, caniformia, along with weasels, racoons, and seals. So they are fairly closely related, which suggests a fairly recent common ancestor.
