Polar bears now eat dolphins, thanks to global warming
CBS News ^ | June 15, 2015 | By ELIZABETH GOLDBAUM

Faced with a rapidly changing habitat, polar bears are adapting with a new entrée: For the first time, a polar bear was seen preying on a white-beaked dolphin carcass that had been trapped in the ice in Svalbard, a group of Norwegian islands in the Arctic Ocean.

In April 2014, a male polar bear with a full belly was spotted near a recently devoured white-beaked dolphin.

These dolphins rarely venture so far north in the Arctic; they prefer the sub-Arctic, which has less sea ice and more open water. "If it had been a more usual sea-ice year, I do not think the dolphins would have been that far north in the spring," said Jon Aass, primary author of the study and a research scientist at the Norwegian Polar Institute.

That polar bear looks pretty skinny. It’s probably a good thing that the dolphin got trapped in the sea ice (caused by global warming, no doubt) so that the polar bear could get a decent meal. We wouldn’t want him to starve or anything.

They passed insane like it was sitting still a long time ago.
