Heart-Wrenching Video Shows Starving Polar Bear on Iceless Land

[Cattledog]

When photographer Paul Nicklen and filmmakers from conservation group Sea Legacy arrived in the Baffin Islands in late summer, they came across a heartbreaking sight: a starving polar bear on its deathbed.

Nicklen is no stranger to bears. From the time he was a child growing up in Canada's far north the biologist turned wildlife photographer has seen over 3,000 bears in the wild. But the emaciated polar bear, featured in videos Nicklen published to social media on December 5, was one of the most gut-wrenching sights he's ever seen.

"We stood there crying—filming with tears rolling down our cheeks," he said.

2. This planet is a mess in ruins. The current administration of climate change deniers

can not be removed from office fast enough. The destruction and insatiable greed of these illegitimate leaders is totally insane. The dying polar bear foreshadows the future of all living creatures on this Earth. I am appalled anytime I even look and hear drumpf, his family and any creatures in this administration and redumbliCON Congress.
