inside mouth of polar bear | 8 July 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Today I found in the hut an old wildlife camera, returned by Hongmei of the Chinese station on 21 December 2022. The camera was used to observe behaviour of neckbanded geese. We observed nest xxx from goose xxx with GPS-neckband 20. The camera was set to time lapse, every 5 minutes two pictures. The goose nest was predated by a polar bear on 15 June 2022. Unfortunately that action was missed. But later the bear has taken the camera in its mouth at a momnent where the camera did take a picture. An unique picture. Now traces on the camera of any bite mark or scratch. We start here with a narrative of what happened on 15 June 2022:
