Dec. 7, 2017 - This is what a starving polar bear looks like. This bear was spotted by National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen on Somerset Island in the Canadian Arctic. Since the bear went missing after this video was made, it's impossible to know specifically what ailed it. However, scientists warn that
as temperatures rise, and sea ice melts, polar bears lose access to the main staple of their diet—seals. Starving, and running out of energy, they are forced to wander into human settlements for any source of food. Feeding polar bears is illegal. Without finding another source of food, this bear likely only had a few more hours to live.
