PolarFeast

Polar bears are not always as solitary as we image. When food is plentiful such as when a dead whale becomes available bears will gather and share the carcass. Once a whale is found they will eat as much as they can and go and snooze until they can pack in some more food. As more bears find the whale they will gather in larger numbers until the whale is gone. Here four unrelated adult polar bears are sharing a meal.
