EDITORS COMMENTS
Battle Royale: Polar Bear Edition! Two unrelated subadults engage in an epic wrestling match over a mouthwatering feast - the carcass of a majestic fin whale. It's survival of the fittest in Norway's Svalbard Archipelago as these furry contenders duke it out for their share of this floating delicacy. In this thrilling snapshot captured by wildlife photographer Steve Kazlowski, witness the raw power and determination of these Arctic giants. With their snowy white fur glistening under the summer sun, these polar bears showcase their incredible strength and agility as they grapple with each other amidst breathtaking scenery. This extraordinary scene serves as a reminder that even in the vast wilderness, food is not always easy to come by. As climate change continues to impact our planet, these magnificent creatures face new challenges in securing their next meal. The fight over resources becomes more intense, making every bite all the more precious. Armed with sharp claws and powerful jaws, these playful pugilists put on quite a show for nature enthusiasts worldwide. So grab your popcorn (or should we say seal blubber?) and enjoy this thrilling spectacle brought to you by Ardea Picture Library. Just remember – no betting allowed on which bear will emerge victorious!
