Resumen de Polar bear diet switches from seals to eggs
Polar bears may be ditching seafood in favor of scrambled eggs as the heat rises in the Arctic, melting sea ice. A changing coastline has made it harder for the predators to catch the seals they favor and is pushing them towards poaching goose eggs. This is according to a team led by Charmain Hamilton of the Norwegian Polar Institute that monitored polar bears and seals before and after a aharp decline in sea ice in 2006 in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. The team attached tracking devices to 60 ringed seals a, well as 67 polar bears, which allowed them to see how the ice loss affected their movements.
