Compared to other polar bears, Odis and Joe Qixi are the lucky ones.
In the past two months in the rescue station, they ate enough food to keep their bodies strong and obese.
Secondly, humans chose a suitable place for them to release. Not only is there a wealth of food resources, but it is also not so cruelly competitive.
However, as the temperature rises day by day, the glaciers gradually melt from south to north. In order to absorb more fat energy, polar bears have to risk chasing the ice that has not melted.
The adventure game that belonged to them didn't really begin until there was not much ice left on the sea.
The ice on the north side has melted, leaving only a few small islands. Summer is barren and desolate, with no food for survival.
At that time, the polar bears will swim to the south coast. Although they will go ashore and pass some islands on the way, the distance between the two places is still very scary.
It takes two to three hundred kilometers to swim shortly, and five hundred kilometers long.
Many years ago, the ice on the surface of the Arctic Ocean did not completely melt until July. This is very friendly and means that the polar bears have enough time to store energy for the summer.
As the global temperature rises, this year, the time left for them has shrunk by a full month.
At this moment, this is the last piece of ice.
Qiao Qixi heard the sound of ice breaking and iceberg falling to the ground every day, and then regretfully looked at the pile of ice floating away, very sad, because only on the ice can they hunt seals.
Fortunately, their mission this year has been completed, and they will be able to move south after eating this seal.
However, the polar bear on the shore was obviously not so lucky. It did not look as strong as Odis, and its hair was also yellow, at least it looked more than ten years old.
Qiao Qixi is a little worried about the polar bear, wondering if he has stored enough fat
But how to put it, you can only give spiritual support, this way.
After all, he is still a consumer, and even he needs Odis to feed himself. Where can there be surplus food to help other polar bears.
As Qiao Qixi had worried, the smell of the food did attract a mother polar bear with a cub.
I don’t know if it’s the family of three I met in the coniferous forest. The cubs seem to be just over two months old. It’s hard to imagine that they will cross the sea with their mother and move south for food in about half a month. .
If the bears are lucky enough to survive the first year, then they will have to follow their mother twice or so in the future, and then take this memory to heart, pass it on to their children, or go back and forth on their own.
Just now facing the teenage old polar bear, Qiao Qixi was moved with compassion, and now facing the mother bear with cubs, Qiao Qixi also felt sorry for them.
It would be great if he was the boss of a butcher shop, he thought.
Although the temptation of food is hard to resist, the mother bear with the cubs knows that she does not have the conditions to snatch food from the male polar bear's mouth, which is whimsical.
Therefore, the clever bear mother quickly took the children out of Qiao Qixi's sight and went to other places for food.
As the family of three left, the familiar sound of cracking came from the nearby ice.
This means that the sea surface covered by ice has been reduced.
On Qiao Qixi's side, the whole piece of floating ice was shaking, obviously they were staying in the'melting reserve'.
How can this be done
Qiao Qixi looked at Otis, with big round and innocent eyes that read: Tiezi, shall we run away
It's not too far back to shore now, it's too late.
Odis lay on his side on the ice floes, just craned his neck and looked at the polar bear on the other side that was getting further and further away from them, but had no other reaction.
The calm eyes seemed to say: a trip that just walks away, it scares you.
Seeing his little friend so calm, Qiao Qixi, who was sitting on the ice, thought to himself, when the ice floats, you also float.
After waiting for another two minutes, they were farther from the shore, which seemed to be the last chance to make a decision.
Qiao Qixi thought to himself: Really not leaving
As if yes, Odis seemed to have his own thoughts, and did not care about the drifting ice, even holding his head to continue sleeping, at first glance, he looked like a fierce bear doing big things.
But then again, if he did this, then they had only one choice-after the floating ice melted, they immediately embarked on the road of moving south.
The little polar bear who ate with Odis did not have the concept of moving south, so he didn't know that there would be a two- to three-hundred-kilometer swimming marathon waiting for his fat oneself.
The optimistic little polar bear took his little yellow bucket back so as not to roll into the sea.
In mid-June, a large number of polar researchers gathered on this piece of Arctic ice that was about to melt completely.
A well-made drone that takes aerial photography over the polar regions 24 hours a day.
By chance, an unmanned aerial vehicle captured a very interesting scene.
In the vast sea, on a huge ice floe about ten meters wide, there are two polar bears and a half-eaten seal, and, to be precise, there is also a yellow plastic bucket.
People can't help but laugh at this picture, there is no reason, just feel inexplicably happy!
"These two polar bears are quite white and fat?" The researcher sighed, "Didn't it mean that the polar bears this summer were particularly difficult? I saw the photos I took before, all of them were ashamed."
"It's quite white and fat." The young voice said, "This is the polar bear with the highest appearance I have ever seen this year. Show it to the professor."
When the professor saw this picture, he pushed his glasses and laughed: "This is a picture of you who P, use it to bluff me."
The young man said: "It's not P, it's true."
The professor was stunned, and pointed to the big one and said: "This is a male polar bear. Look at its weight, it has to start at least 600 to 700 kilograms."
The young man nodded: "I can see it."
"You can see a fart." The professor criticized, and pointed to another small bear: "This is a juvenile bear, about two years old. It stands to reason that he has not left the she bear to live independently..."
"Such an older one, shouldn't it be more than two years old, right?" the young man interjected.
"Anyway, it's still a little bear." The professor said, "It shouldn't be with an adult male polar bear. Which male polar bear has you ever seen with a cub?"
That's why he suspected that this photo was of young P.
"That's what it said." The young man scratched his head: "But this photo of the professor is definitely not P. It is really taken by us from the aerial. If you are interested, we can continue to track these two polar bears."
"Well, they are floating on the sea, it seems they are preparing to move south." The professor speculated.
"It should be." The young man nodded.
After a serious discussion, the young man posted this picture on a forum in the circle, which immediately inspired a lot of comments.
: Hahaha, these two polar bears are amazing, and they will travel with food.
: Nothing is important, the most important thing is to take what you eat.
:Ouch! This looks like it will live a life, look at this white and fat figure, hahaha.
: What's the matter with that small plastic yellow bucket
: Marine debris is thought-provoking.
: Although the picture is full of joy, it also makes me think deeply.
: Polar bears are too difficult. Staying in the North Pole has to be with human trash.
Humans never dreamed that the little yellow bucket was the private property of the little polar bear.
It is his if he finds it.
Qiao Qixi didn't even dream of it. Suddenly he was forced to make a debut, and the photos spread among the circle of polar researchers.
And also forced to participate in the real bear show.
As an extraordinary bear, he wants to keep a low profile, but his strength does not allow him.
In other words, when people see a polar bear alone, staying helplessly on the ice floes and looking at the boundless ocean, they will feel lonely, lonely, and helpless, and they will feel a sense of melancholy and sadness in their hearts.
So in another situation, when people see two white and fat polar bears nestling on a piece of solid ice floes, blowing a small breeze, basking in the sun, eating seal meat...
Melancholy? desolate
nonexistent.
Because they have two, have companions, and eat, and they are fat for nothing.
It’s not that they say that some people are worse off than bears.
Why do you say that
According to the latest aerial footage, adult polar bears and juvenile cubs are indeed companions, not predators and food reserves.
At first, people were worried about whether this little one was looking for food reserves for themselves.
Then found out that it was not.
Adult polar bears are very good to cubs.
Yes, after floating ice on the ice for more than ten hours, Qiao Qixi woke up from his hazy sleep and felt that sleeping on the drifting ice was quite comfortable.
When I woke up, I felt a feeling of hunger in my stomach.
Qiao Qixi rubbed Odis who was lying next to him, he didn't know, is Odis hungry
Hello, do you want to have some seals together
Otis squinted his eyes, licked the little bear arching in his arms, then put his head on the opponent again, and continued to sleep soundly.
Qiao Qixi is convinced, isn't he hungry, isn't he also hungry
The bear, who was strong and wanted to eat, crawled out of the heavy pressure and crawled next to the seal to eat meat.
Odis looked at Joe Qixi, put his head on his paw and continued to sleep, not because Odis was sleepy.
He is just recharging his energy and reducing unnecessary physical energy consumption, because there is a tough battle to be fought next, and he must maintain his physical condition.
When polar bears fall into partial deep sleep, they do not need to eat, drink, or excrete.
Odis is in this state.
But Qiao Qixi didn't know, he didn't eat any more after he was 70% full, and wanted to leave the rest of the food to Odis.
When he was full, the little polar bear licked his mouth and looked around for a while, suddenly exploded and knocked!
Surrounded by sea.
When it was over, Qiao Qixi began to feel leg cramps.
Oh my god, can they get to the shore when the ice floes under their feet melt
Qiao Qixi immediately measured the area of the floating ice, and then continued to fry and knock, it seemed to be half less than when they set off.
In other words, after another ten hours at most, the ice floes under your feet will completely melt.
Yes, if the ice floes are smaller, they can't bear their weight, and even if they don't melt completely, they can't stay on it.
Qiao Qixi watched the smaller and smaller ice floes, and hurriedly bit the seal and dragged it towards the center. This is an important property, as well as a small yellow bucket.
Odis! Wake up!
Qiao Qixi shouted in his heart, get up and eat the seals, and if you don't eat it, you will fall into the sea.
At this time, in the aerial footage, a chubby little polar bear is busy on the ice floe.
I saw him drag the food for a while, grab his bucket, and ran to the adult polar bear... Acting like a baby
Qiao Qixi: Tui! It's an alert!
