Rog, I'm with you. This other crap is nonsense.

Back to the God Damn Bear Thread, damn it.

In the Arctic, animals that do stay north for the winter are forced to seek refuge in any patches of open water that haven't frozen over. Sometimes whales become trapped in these isolated tiny holes in the ice. A group of belugas are 22km from open ocean and it will be two months before the ice melts. They are painfully thin and horribly scarred. Their wounds are not inflicted by the ice but by polar bears that have spotted an easy meal. Aware of the danger, the whales stay submerged as long as they can, but they can only hold their breathe for 20 minutes. Eventually a bear makes a catch.

Last evening I watched a BBC program called "The Blue Planet: Frozen Seas".

You need to see this. It is available from Netflix.

"You so pushy, bumble, dag!" I can hear you saying. But no, Rog, no. You need to watch this.
