Polar Bear vs. Polar Bear: Food Snatch | National Geographic

in northern Canada winter slowly loosens
its grip and a young polar bear is
hungry he sniffs a meal already in
progress and decides to play a dangerous
game of food snatch his opponent is
larger older and won’t tolerate a rival
second try he scores a quick nibble it
is a game of patience and cunning but a
loss result is death adult males would
kill younger bears if it suits them the
older male is had enough the charges
pushy adolescent further and further
back
[Music]
the young one admits defeat and retreats
the safe round he begins a new game a
waiting game
the older bear devours his meal licking
the carcass clean of blubber when the
adult male has had his fill he wanders
off leaving the scraps for his opponent
the young one feeds on the remains it
wins a consolation prize of sorts a full
belly but it will be a long time before
it’s ready to compete again
