Rare hunting scene raises questions over polar bear diet
OSLO (AFP) - A polar bear chases a reindeer into the water, drags it ashore and devours it, in a striking scene caught on film for the first time.
With sea ice melting, the king of the Arctic may be changing its diet.
The dramatic spectacle played out in Norway's Svalbard archipelago on Aug 21 last year - in summer, the sea ice retreats and takes with it the seals that make up the polar bear's main source of food.
A research team from a nearby Polish scientific station watched it happen and caught for the first time on camera a polar bear hunting a reindeer.
The video shows a young female chasing a male reindeer into the icy waters, catching and drowning it, then pulling it on shore and making a meal of it.
"The whole situation was so amazing that it was like watching a documentary," said University of Gdansk biologist Izabela Kulaszewicz.

This raises questions, which we ask in order of importance:
1. Who knew the Poles had an Artic Scientific Station in Norway?
2. When was lefty ever correct?
