This video contains graphic material that may be extremely disturbing to some people. However, this is real life for polar bears due to the harsh environment they live in. This film shows a mother and her two cubs who were all obviously malnourished. The two cubs eventually die, most likely due to starvation.These animals were part of the Western Hudson Bay population that spend several months on land each year due to melting ice. The time they spend on land is increasing due to the changing climate in the arctic. This film is part of The Arctic Documentary Project spearheaded by Daniel J. Cox under the umbrella of Polar Bears International. This film was captured on November 23, 2010. Find out more at www.naturalexposures.com and polarbearsinternational.org
