allcreatures: Polar bears scavenging, by Howie Garber, USA. The corpse of a grey whale in Alaska lured in a surprising crowd. Polar bears are usually solitary, and hunt on sea-ice. But this group contained adult males, at least one female, sub-adults and cubs. Another 30 or so bears waited their turn. As a result of climate change, sea-ice has retreated record distances from the coast in recent summers. This might explain the unusual gathering, as these bears could have been stranded on land, far from their usual prey. Wild Planet: the best of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition
