Polar bear sneaks cannibalism

Photographer Paul Goldstein recorded photographs of the chase while sitting on an icebreaker ship at Spitsbergen, Norway.

Paul said: "A bear mother and her children of about 18 months of age swam right under the bow. At that time we still did not know that the bear family was in a dangerous situation when being chased by a male bear. They continued to swim right under the ship, and then we saw the big male bear who was trying to turn the cubs into breakfast. '

Polar bears are very voracious species. In addition to fish, seabirds and seals, polar bears can even eat the same kind.
