Russian village is under siege from FIFTY-SIX hungry polar bears

A Russian village is under siege from at least 56 ravenous polar bears that have gathered on the outskirts of the remote outpost.

Remarkable images and footage show how Ryrkaypiy is now in virtual lockdown over the worrying predator invasion.

All public events have been cancelled and children were given extra protection as they travel to and from kindergarten and school.

Special bear patrols are trying to stop the 'hungry' bears entering residential areas.

So far the invasion is on the outskirts of the village - which has a population of 766 - in Russia's easternmost Chuktoka region, where the beasts are feasting on seal carcasses at Cape Kozhevnkov, according to reports.

Whatever their normal food is it's being under fished/caught...whatever. Nothing a food drop won't help.

And maybe they're just over populated....imagine that.

” Experts said the group included adults, adolescents and mother bears with cubs of different ages”

Hmmm. “ONLY” THOSE? Where are the rest? /s

That’s because Russians have trapped and shot everything out. Here in Alaska they poach the moose and trap on the park walkways instead of making their own trails.

“’The number of human and predator encounters in the Arctic is increasing”

“’We have created a feeding point with walrus carcasses that we gathered along the coast,’”

Are you listening to yourselves?

“Russia’s easternmost Chuktoka region”

I’m guessing Russian news is filled with weird stories that start with “Chuktoka man ...”

Sounds like a good pitch line for a movie script.

Polar bears eat enormous amounts of sea and walrusl which loads their livers with toxic levels of Vitamin A

Seal and Walrus get the vitamin A from sea algae common at that latitude

They should just sit there and wait 11 years for global warming to flood them out.
We know Polar Bears can’t swim because Global Warming propaganda has told us.
