Hudson Bay polar bear numbers increase

The polars share territory with the griz,as you can see,this one is seriously starving.

You can also see no signs of any polars in this ancient Innuit artifact.hmmmm.

LOL its like he's wondering if that biped taste like chicken. :lol:

They have government posters in every airport in Nunavut telling you what part of the bear to aim for if you get attacked.

 

[petros]

If you miss and it attacks, punch it in the nose.

 

[Kakato]

Heh,civil disobediance,it attacked me!

Before the polar bears it was the caribou herds that were supposedly getting wiped out,particularily the Dorothy and Beverly herds.They dont make a wide angle lens big enough to show how many Tuk Tuk there is here on the tundra.Multiply this pic by 1000 and you get the idea.

RFID the polar bears? Good luck!

I'm not 100% sure if it's RFID, but I remember reading somewhere that they can physically tag them. Sniper rifles?

Tonnington knows more about this than I do.

 

[petros]

Ever tried to tag a swimming bear?

 

[Kakato]

They just paint a number on them in Churchill,after being tranked and spending a night in the polar bear crowbar hotel.Im sure they could tag them then if they dont allready.

The fox represent the bear and the mouse represent the human. :lol:

This was my bear scare as camp manager.

You sleep with it right above your head.

How do they collar the swimming ones?

They wait until they're on land i think.

A Satellite Collar...But No Tie
Scientists in the field place satellite collars on a select number of bears every spring. The technology lets research teams follow polar bears across the Arctic from the comfort of a warm office hundreds of miles away. Especially in winter, we have no other practical means of learning about polar bears during 24 hours of darkness, when arctic blizzards howl and temperatures plunge.

Right. They hope that one of the bears will remain within a pack so that they can track the others.

I'm sure they could tranq every bear if they really wanted to.

 

[Kakato]

The northern lights keep it fairly light out during the 24 hour darkness thing.......most times.

They dont pack either.They are very solitary animals.

WHAT they think bears travel in pack?

 

[petros]

Flossy does.

 

[mentalfloss]

Ah, I see... my bad on that one.

They probably just spread out the collars into specific zones where it is likely a greater distribution of bears then.

I do enjoy people speculating on things they admittedly don't know anything about. It makes for good reading.
