polar bears are starting to eat each other.

Climate change and the use of fossil fuels in the area are cited as reasons.

Along with global warming, the coronavirus that is conquering Europe and various political events, there is a terrible phenomenon that affects animal species and leads them to cannibalism, say Russian researchers, reports the Daily Mail.

Melting ice caused by global warming but also by increasing the number of companies in the Arctic, deprive polar bears of the possibility of hunting, so they are forced to return to cannibalism by attacking their cubs.

The cases of cannibalism in polar bears were rarely known to scientists before. The source of our concerns is that cannibalism has become so common now that bears are also attacking women with beo”, said scientist Ilija Mordzhaviv of the Severov Institute, adding that the cause of these attacks is a lack of food caused by the human factor.

The lack of ice reduces the number of seals that bears feed on.

Scientists have confirmed that bears, after killing members of their species, cover their bodies with snow and ice so they can use it again in the future.

polar bears are a low - scale breeding species during the winter.
