When I mentioned this strange occurence to sprog #3, he reminded me that he had an old book on polar bears that he bought at the local library when he was younger. This august tome is entitled Polar Star, by Sally Grindley and John Butler, and was published in the dim and distant year of 1997 (ISBN 1860394221). In this kids book we discover that, shock horror, male polar bears sometimes devour young cubs, and the book even features a sequence where a mother defends her cubs from the predatory male...
Here's the cover of the book...
The sequence where the predatory male attacks the cub begins here:
The text itself states:
And all of this without mention of melting ice, rising sea levels, global warming or CO2.
Where's David Attenborough when you need him, eh?

This was very helpful! thx i was doing a project and in my friend's story a polar bear commited cannabalism cause there wasnt any seals cause of global warming. i think global warming is sad, don't you?
Depends what you mean by sad... In this story there's no global warming and the polar bear still eats the babies. It's a natural process, just like the warming we've had in the last couple of hundred years.
I think it's sad that so many people have been convinced that there's some disaster imminent and that we're responsible for it. And it's sad that so many billions have been spent on these imaginary disasters that could have spent fighting real problems - like poverty, malaria, cancer etc.
