Polar Bears Ambush a Colony of Walruses | Polar Bear Battlefield | BBC Earth

Somewhere, somehow, there has to be a way into this wall of blubber. Are pups in there? There's one. There's another one. Another. But how do you get the pup away from the big ones? It seems to be more than one bear by itself can manage. But the bear isn't by itself. Other bears have picked up the scent. Polar bears are more than just solitary animals. They actively dislike each other. But they're all very hungry now, and there's an awful lot of food cornered here. They're circling like vultures. The only trouble is, these bodies aren't dead. Even the mother is here with her cub. The bears have backed the walruses into the water. But can they organize an assault? The walruses are breaking ranks. The bears have singled out the young, the old, and the unhealthy. Especially the young. Now they're closing in. There's the objective. Confusion among the walruses. The wall of blubber is breached. Goes. Another one. But as soon as a kill is made, the carcass is dragged away so that other bears won't steal it. It's a victory, and it's a massacre. The beach is covered with walrus meat and bones. Because there were so many bears, they're all feasting at a time when they might be expected to starve. There are even leftovers for late arrivals.
