Polar bears may be at risk of starvation
On December 2, WWF staff released a video in which a large 'T-34' was written on the side of a polar bear in black paint.
According to the Russian news agency on December 2, this video was taken in the Chukchi autonomous region of Russia. Experts speculate that the paint on polar bears is not ordinary paint, because the latter can be easily wiped off.
"In the 1960s, scholars tried to mark the polar bears on Russia's Langer island and mark their serial numbers on their sides. But as soon as the polar bear swam in the water, the mark was washed away. It's the first time that the mark can't be erased, which will make it difficult for them to hunt '.
After the video was uploaded, netizens immediately denounced this behavior. Everyone said, 'damn it!', ' The polar bear will starve to death if it loses its protective color! "
Experts pointed out that this video was first sent by Chukchi's hunters, 'they wanted to hunt polar bears, but they were opposed by animal protectors and called them poachers' In fact, hunters respect animals more than those who scribble on them.
Polar bears live in the polar regions of the northern hemisphere, and Chukchi is the largest habitat of polar bears in the world.
Polar bears have been listed in the red list of world endangered species. In recent years, the number of polar bears has increased slowly, and young bears have a high mortality rate. In addition, due to climate warming and melting ice floes in the Arctic, it is more and more difficult for polar bears to prey, so they need human protection.
