Chapter 293 Prison situation

Once you get on a tundra car and embark on a journey, the stones on the tundra occasionally make people mistakenly think that it is a polar bear, and the branches swaying in the wind will also attract all the attention.

The weather is very good, and you look up at the sun like a prism. This is a halo. When the sunlight passes through the cirrus clouds, it is formed by refraction or reflection of ice crystals.

When there are cirrus clouds composed of ice crystals in the sky, one or more colorful halos centered around the sun often appear around the sun, with infrared purple inside, and sometimes many colorful or white light spots and arcs, which are very magical.

The driver proudly introduced the far north. Due to the vast territory, polar bears like to be alone and have no territorial consciousness. It depends entirely on luck to see them. Even the Svalbard Islands, which claim to have more than 2,000 polar bears, may not be able to see them.

There is only one place in the world, and they can be seen 100%. Some adventure companies even make slogans that cannot see polar bears and refund the full group fee. If you are lucky, it is normal to see more than 20 polar bears on a trip.

Not only are there many, but it is still long, and you can meet them for half a year. In February and March, the female bear will take her cubs out of the cave and explore the new world outside. That is the best time to find polar bear cubs and photograph the warmth of polar bear mother and son.

The most beautiful thing is in July and August, with purple flowers everywhere in midsummer and polar bears appearing in the flowers. In summer, the ice and snow melt. Appreciate the polar bears on the shore walking among the rocks and wild flowers, playing and playing. The big guys in the flowers will definitely subvert people's impression of them only exist in the snow and ice.

When the seals begin to be preyed in autumn, we will prey on the ringed seals under the ice while Hudson Bay has not completely frozen. After hungry all over the summer, they gather from all directions, wait for the sea water to freeze, eat and quit, and store enough fat to survive the winter.

October happens to be the golden viewing period for Churchill's bear viewing. Travel experts, global bear viewing enthusiasts, and professional photographers all stare at these 20 days. The snow just covers the tundra and is covered with silver. Polar bears are playing and playing in the snow-white world. The most beautiful time of the year.

Finally arrived at the best observation point, there were many inns parked, with a total length of 100 meters, 6 cars, 2 bedrooms, 1 restaurant, 1 lounge, 1 storage room, and 1 employee room. Although the sparrow is small, it is all complete.

I stay here at night, and the reason I chose this is because not far away is the only prison in the world that is detaining polar bears. Every year when the bear season arrives, the big guys who wander around the town and rummages through the trash cans will be caught and transported to a distance by helicopter after the sentence expires.

Standing at the height of the observation deck, there are indeed two polar bears around. The sunlight shines on them just through the inn, just like a special warm light, taking a leisurely walk, which is worthy of being the home of polar bears.

The car was not satisfied with the sight, so the driver and the tour guide took everyone out and searched along the footprints. From a distance, they saw a polar bear's foot stretching out from a snow cave and stopped quickly.

It had found that someone was approaching, but didn't care at all, and began to play with it. The driver said it was just a female bear. He gave birth to a baby in the snow cave every December and did not come out until March.

The main food is ringed seals, and predation takes place on the ice. The water flow in nearby rivers is large, resulting in low salinity in the sea water and making its freezing temperature higher. Therefore, when the cold current comes in mid-November every year, Hudson Bay is the earliest to freeze near Churchill Town.

After being hungry for several months, they naturally couldn't wait to rush to the ice to prey on delicious food. They had a very sensitive sense of smell and could smell seals under the ice several meters, digging holes on the ice, quietly waiting for seals to come out to breathe and capture them in one fell swoop.

When I came to the nearby open-air garbage dump, it was the most popular here. Sometimes 40 people came to find food in a day. Now the local area took strict precautions against polar bears, intercepted them at the intersection of the town, and there were also special bear police.

If you are intercepted three times, you will be knocked down and put in prison. You will only provide snow as drinking water to polar bears and do not provide any food, so as to punish those bad guys who violate the law and discipline.

The purpose of this forced fast is to prevent these prisoners from causing trouble for humans. After hunger for a while, or if the prison is full, then anesthesia is performed, put it in a large net bag, and send it to a place dozens of kilometers away to release animals.

After a period of trouble, I will leave a fearful impression of prison, and those who escape far away will not come back.

Johnson approached the iron fence of the prison and looked at the huge creature in front of him from a close distance. When a male bear saw someone, he actually ran over and stood up to say hello?

Think about how it feels like a big guy who is 2.5 tall and weighs up to 800 kilograms to wave to you?

They are smart, have a strong curiosity, and will adopt different strategies and tactics when preying. They even know how to use ice to bury excess food to avoid smelling the same people.

The most awesome is its sense of smell, which is thousands of times sharper than humans. It can smell the smell of food 30 kilometers away, and can also detect other similar types, especially the opposite sex.

The thick fur looks off-white, but it is actually a transparent and colorless hollow tube that appears white under the reflection of sunlight, so as to absorb sunlight and preserve heat. It is also the best protective color on the snow.

Rather than calling it a polar bear, it is more appropriate to call it a sea bear. It is all swimmers, with the forelimbs and the hind limbs controlling the direction. It swims a hundred or ten kilometers a day, which is not a problem at all.

Suddenly I saw a small bear not far away. When I saw the big bear, I turned around and ran away?

It turns out that the female bear will take four years to not mate with the male bear when she is pregnant with the young bear. The male bear is so suffocating that he can only kill the young ones to achieve the purpose of mating. It’s so cruel!

When we returned to the inn, everyone got together, drank and chatted, and took out various photos to share. Until evening, Johnson finally understood the fundamental reason for living here.

Sleeping with the snoring of the polar bear, it slept beside the wheel, with beautiful aurora above its head, and the goddess Aurora was coming, and the gorgeous skirt danced in the night sky...

A powerful divine beast crawling beside you, and the goddess dancing on her head is a feeling of being in mythology? It is an unforgettable trip experience for life!

Unfortunately, as global temperatures rise and the icy date in Hudson Bay gradually pushes off, polar bears starve longer and their number is decreasing.

Although they are the largest carnivores on the planet's land, they are also weak and fragile in the face of climate change. Every time they think that every move of their own may have a huge impact on other creatures, SC Johnson feels more awe.

The trip to Canada was short, the environment was good, there were few people, and the meeting was very friendly. Unfortunately, there were not many delicious foods. I don’t know why, but I obviously felt that Europe is far more important than the American people?

European countries are small, but each has its own style and unique folk customs. The Americas are large but very rough. Many times they run for a few days and come to their destination with great expectations, but the result is...

That's all.
