When the citizens saw the bear on the beach they were shocked, probably according to activists it traveled on an ice floe and lost its orientation.
"Due to climate change, the Arctic is warming, habitat is being lost," said Vladimir Chuprov of Greenpeace. “The ice is melting and polar bears are looking for new ways to survive. And the simplest way is to move to the villages in search of food ”.
The videos and images show the undernourished animal. Residents have left fish on the beach, but the bear does not seem to take food. However, the animal never went near homes, nor did it threaten people. He remains on the bay, but looks very weak and limped, according to Svetlana Gubareva, deputy head of the district.
The bear named Umka was first sedated, then flown by helicopter. Once it reached the Arctic, the animal was released into its natural habitat, escaping a fate that could be terrible.
