Just like the idea that it's getting colder, therefore it's getting warmer; there's more bears, therefore the population is being decimated. Don't pay any attention to the facts, just listen to what we say. Hogwash.
Bears overriding problem is always food. Everything else they can cope with just fine. " With changing ice conditions, walruses can be forced to come ashore in steep unsuitable areas.
This year, hundreds died as the huge animals crushed one another, possibly after being disturbed by a predator, said Viktor Nikiforov, a polar bear specialist and coordinator of Marine Mammals expert centre.
The problem is that some walrus corpses then floated to the village, attracting polar bears. "One bear broke the window of a house," Nikiforov said. "
So Global Freaking Warming caused the walruses to crush one another by going where they shouldn't ? It didn't. I've seen this on TV. Some stupid animals go up on hillsides and being stupid can't remember how they got up there so they come down another more steep slope and get killed. However, this is really good because they are now bear food.
