[@debrabiderman4275]

Need drives. As the ice melts earlier and freezes later polar bears with the ability to socialize their hunts during the starving months may be the only bears who survive global warming. And if they teach their cubs....well it would probably impact walrus colonies. Who are already impacted by no place to haul out. If we don't destroy the entire ecosystem in the next 100 year's maybe socialized bears will be the "New Bears". Just as solitary grizzly bears tolerate each other during salmon runs and sharks and whales and fur seals and sea lions will tolerate each other when sardines are running. Needs Drive

[@Bikewithlove]

debra biderman - Global warming is a hoax to create ponzi schemes. Life is brutal, and weather has always been unpredictable. News stations are doing the same thing those polar bears are doing - they’re predators and you’re their prey. They’ll say anything to you so that you’ll give up your labor and your rights while they count your cash in their mansions. Keep believing the sky is falling. I don’ buy any of it for a second.

[@markquickfall2634]

"Polar Bears Ambush a Colony of Sea Lions"? Those were sea lions? Really?

[@MartinBrabi]

They are even talking about walruses, but in the title SEA LIONS 👎

[@climid]

gotta love the walrus for making such a good defense wall of blubber and tusks.

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

Except that they didn't really stand their ground because the large number of polar bears caused a panic among the walruses. And that left some pups vulnerable for predation.

[@danyeo]

If you’ve ever seen a Walrus up close it’s amazing how huge they are. Now imagine attacking hundreds of them at once.

[@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457]

Walruses don't defend each other despite the huge size. Only exception is female walrus which will try to defend calf sometimes. Also, Polar bears themselves are 400-700kg so it's not a big deal. If single lion and tiger can charge at herd of buffaloes, then Polar bears can charge at Walrus. Besides, even sub adult Walrus is impossible to kill for any polar bear even if you think attacking hundreds of Walrus is a impressive feat.

[@ameybirulkar7503]

They only killed calf because they can't kill adult walrus

[@unos253]

Looks like the polar bears already broke into area 51 and evolved

But it was all so real one night when we were all leaving camp for crew change. Something we do often. And the first guy out the door. Just walked into the jaws of a polar bear.

Thanks to humans, destroying their environment and hunting grounds. Though in support of us humans, there are alot of great changes. Where we are now trying to undo the harm, we have made. In many areas around the world, so we are learning to appreciate. The world is not only for us humans, and for it and us to survive. We have to look after it and all creatures small and gigantic on it. And ourselves!

[@khorps4756]

Reason that's not true, it's survival of the fittest in relation to different degrees of space. that's why there is such biodiversity which makes it seem like it's survival of the fit enough. the space a sloth occupies is totally different from the space a lion occupies for instance. there is a role, a space to be occupied that allows for the sloth to compete with other organisms, and the sloth is the fittest organism to occupy that role.
