Supreme Sacred Ring, Carefree Tycoon!
In the 80s, a good-quality old Hainan Huanghuali round-backed armchair from the Qing Dynasty could be yours for just twenty yuan. Now, two million yuan o...
Just as he was thinking about it, a fat white bear walked leisurely from behind the house, and the little bear cub immediately ran over. It was obvious that this bear was the cub's mother.
The old man who was feeding water to the little bear cubs was not afraid when he saw the mother bear appear. Instead, a smile appeared on his face. He turned around, took out a piece of thawed meat from behind him, and threw it directly to the mother bear.
Because of Dabai, Gege and his group also saw this scene. Mickey smiled and said, "It turned out to be Binnie."
Gege asked curiously, "Binnie? It sounds like a girl's name. Mr. Kamsonov, is Binnie the female bear?"
"Just call me Mickey. Yes, Benny is the name given to this mother bear in our town. To be honest, our whole town should thank Benny."
Hearing what Mickey said, everyone in the group became interested.
Mickey didn't move forward. The group just stood on the street, watching the mother bear happily eat meat while listening to Mickey's story.
"Mickey came to our town in the spring of the year before last. As you know, there are a lot of polar bears living around Longyearbyen, and they mainly rely on hunting seals for survival. But the temperature was much higher than in previous years, which caused the floating ice in the bay to become very scarce. Without floating ice, the seals will not rest on the floating ice, so the polar bears will not be able to attack the seals resting on the floating ice from the sea."
Yang Jing understood all this. Since he met Dabai, he has done a lot of research on polar bears.
Although polar bears are the top predators in the Arctic Circle, 70% of their food is seals, so seals play an irreplaceable role in their diet. Seals usually do not come to land, but rest on floating ice. In this way, polar bears can swim and dive close to the floating ice where seals rest, and then take the opportunity to jump on the floating ice to hunt seals.
If the seals were alert enough to enter the water early, the polar bears would lose their rations.
In fact, polar bears have only about a 3% chance of success in hunting seals.
Such a low predation rate means that if polar bears want to eat enough and replenish enough energy in the summer to accumulate enough fat to resist the severe cold in winter, they need to start hunting seals desperately at the beginning of spring, because the fat contained in the seals is essential for polar bears to survive the winter.
However, if the temperature is too high in spring, the ice will melt quickly, which will prevent the seals from resting on the ice. The end result is that the polar bears that feed on seals will starve. If polar bears cannot get enough fat before the end of summer, there is a great possibility that they will be frozen to death or starved to death in winter.
Sure enough, Mickey's subsequent narration confirmed Yang Jing's guess.
"Because the temperature was too high that spring, polar bears living near Longyearbyen were extremely short of food. Many polar bears had to leave Longyearbyen to find food elsewhere, but some hungry polar bears even took the initiative to attack humans."
"In the summer of that year, twelve children from Oslo went out under the leadership of Old Os to admire polar bears up close. Oh, I forgot to tell you that Old Os is the old man." Mickey pointed to the old man who had just fed water to the little bear cubs.
"We have a special tour program in Longyearbyen, which is to take a modified snowmobile to appreciate polar bears up close. That summer, a summer camp from Oslo came here, accompanied by twelve children aged eight to eleven. Old Os himself has a modified snowmobile, the kind that uses tires instead of sleds to move forward. Old Os has done this kind of work thousands of times, and it was never dangerous every time. As a result, when they arrived at the shore that time, they were besieged by five adult polar bears. Coincidentally, Old Os's radio was broken again, so he couldn't use the radio to call for help."
"At this time, Benny appeared. This good girl did not go forward to fight with those hungry polar bears. She ran back to the city and then roared loudly in the city. After attracting many people's attention, she led these people to the place where Old Os was attacked. At first, some people wanted to shoot Benny to death, but fortunately, someone saw that Benny seemed to be a little abnormal, so these people followed Benny there, and finally killed three polar bears that attacked Old Os, scared away two of them, and rescued Old Os and the twelve children."
Although Mickey's words were quite calm, everyone was terrified. Everyone knew how dangerous it was to be attacked by five extremely hungry polar bears. Unless a sperm whale or other whale was stranded and died, it would be difficult for polar bears to gather together to eat.
But once polar bears gather together to eat, it means that these polar bears are extremely hungry. This kind of polar bear is the most dangerous.
