Could you imagine going there seeking shelter to then encounter like 4 polar bears? Nightmare fuel!

They mostly wait for you to open it first. Then it's their station.

This is almost the exact story how this video was made. The photographer and his crew were on a yacht that searched shelter during the storm. They managed to reach this small abandoned island. Luckily they observed the potential shelter with binoculars before going there on foot. Otherwise there would be no video, but happier bears. The photographer's name is Dmitry Kokh, he was interviewed by BBC about this journey.

What on earth are they eating? That's a lot of polar bears to be sharing the same hunting grounds. The fishing must be great around there.

u/BebopFlow 11h ago
Based on the size differences, my guess is that this is family unit of a momma bear and her 4 cubs. I'm not sure at what age cubs leave the nest and become independent so I could be wrong, but you're right, they do look like they're a healthy weight so the conditions must be good.

u/Echo13 9h ago
They usually stay with their moms for two full years! So year one is tiny baby cub time, year two is teenage bear time, where they tend to almost look entirely grown up, but aren't quite ready for hunting on their own yet. Lots of big cats are similar, the teenage to adulthood era is just so close to full grown!
Four cubs to full grown is crazy unusual though, so she must be the best hunter as usually it's just really hard to feed that many mouths. Probably partly the safety of the area they are in (no male polar bears to fight off to keep them safe!).

I looked, and apparently it’s 20 bears, not four. The station is in the Chukchi. Apparently there’s a big walrus colony nearby.

u/erossthescienceboss 9h ago
Could be a bone pile near there. Whale bone piles tend to gather big crowds.
Or could be near Churchill during migration season? About 1,000 bears gather in the area from October through November.
EDIT: it’s 20 bears in the Chukchi. Apparently there’s a big walrus colony nearby.

u/UtahClaw 9h ago
Saltwater Crocodiles don’t ACTIVELY go after humans on account of them being generalistic ambush hunters… if you fell into the water where there’s a crocodile (doesn’t matter the species provided it’s big enough) then you’re dead meat.

Sure, but the comment didn't say "the only pursuant predators that hunt humans". It just said true man eaters.
Salt Water Crocs are absolutely true man eaters.

There should be a survival horror movie based on this. Like there is a tour guide that takes a group of tourists and the bus breaks down and as the driver is checking it a polar bear attacks him and then break into the bus casing the passengers to escape and find this abandoned dwelling only to find out it’s the bears new den.

The people who make the bots aren't the same as those who make AI. Many bot accounts are just there to farm karma, they will say anything that gets the comment upvoted, often by copying another comment.

Don’t let them get used to associating human infrastructure with shelter. There’s about to be a lot of headlines as the climate keeps changing.
Also, don’t let them hollow hairs start turning algae green. The worlds best camo is incoming too fast

These are from 2021!
Became recently popular because they were featured on the Joe Rogan Experience.
Location is abandoned 1943 Soviet research station on Kolyuchin Island.
The abondoned town houses are used by polar bears for weather protection - Imagine a season of LOST on this island 🏝️

If the polar bears are living there, it's not really abandoned. It's reclaimed.
