Polar Bear Eating Reindeer Proposed as ‘Evidence of Climate Change(there's polar bears?)
breitbart.com ^ | 11/29/2021 | Thomas D Williams

It appears “polar bears are being forced to change their eating habits” thanks to global warming, alarmists at Euronews announced Sunday.

The article cites video footage of a single polar bear chasing a reindeer into the water and killing it in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago, warning that the incident represents “another stark indication of climate change.”

“Retreating sea ice leaves bears stranded on land for longer periods,” the article declares, and thus, “with fewer seals and a steadily rising reindeer population in Svalbard” polar bears are obliged to change their diet in favor of reindeer.

The video, taken by a research team from a Polish scientific station, suggests “polar bears are increasingly preying on land-based animals to make up for their limited access to their normal diet,” it asserts.

Everybody knows that polar bears only eat carrots. So this attacking reindeer thing is truly a cause for worry.

Perhaps XiJinBiden and Kanadahar’s (aka Canada) Prime Mistake True-dolt, should launch an ‘in person’ investigation, starting in Churchill, Manitoba.

They should have made the headline clearer with hyphens:

"Polar-Bear-Eating Reindeer..."

I thought polar bears eat everything that moves, including humans.

They are VERY bad tempered and will indeed eat anything living.

There is a famous picture of an arctic exploration from the 1700s with one of the explorers having his head eaten by a polar bear. NOT Fun.

Like all species of bear, they are omnivores and eat whatever is available within their area.
If it isn’t seal, they’ll go after caribou, reindeer including humans.

And... that is a former elk. Beautiful rack of antlers which will be eaten by small rodents for the calcium and other minerals in them. Little rodents like mice and field rats who tunnel under the snow, ever vigilant for the wolves and coyotes who listen for them... below the snow, and then pounce on them and swallow them whole. Life, nature, a beautiful gift of symmetry and balance.

Until whackos come along and tell you they can change our climate vs. the Solar cycle on the one planet in this solar system that has life on it.

What is a Polar bear eating Reindeer? It must have some serious claws and teeth.

Now we know why the 25-31 thousand polar bears are endangered. There are 2.1 million polar bear eating reindeer/caribou sharing the tundra with them.
