POLAR BEARS OBSERVED CLOSELY
Free access.
|
|
Breef content: |
A specialist of the State Nature Conservation Area "Wrangel Island", N.G. Ovsyanikov, has been observing polar bears closely for many years, when the bears arrived at the island coast in autumn, once pack-ice recedes. In the researcher's opinion, perception of a polar bear as a solitary predator, which is not practically tied with its congeners, is not true. Polar bears do not lose sight of each other and build up rather complicated social relations.
