The polar bear perched on a small wedge of ice has become a clichéd symbol for the way climate change is affecting animal life, but those bears still have some good food days, as indicated by an astonishing recent event in Siberia. At least 230 of the animals converged on the carcass of a beached bowhead whale on the region's northern coast to feast on the bounty. This may be a common occurrence in polar bear societies, but there aren't necessarily always people around to see it. This time, there were - a tourist group with Heritage Expeditions, led by founder Rodney Russ. "Today has been one of those days I or anybody else with me will never ever forget," Russ wrote on his blog. "You had to live it to believe it, even now there are people pinching themselves to make sure it really happened."
