Bearded bear and seal sent on October 02, 2022 (22:21) by Antolalto. 39 comments, 1455 views.

,

Il primo orso polare che avvistiamo il secondo giorno di spedizione è un maschio di oltre 400kg. Lo troviamo che dorme sul ghiaccio marino. Dopo qualche tempo, si alza e comincia a gironzolare, apparentemente senza meta, fino a che non si butta in acqua. Pazienza, pensiamo di averlo perso. E invece, dopo qualche minuto, riemerge trascinando con sé fuori dall'acqua una foca barbuta che le guide stimano pesare quanto l'orso. La foca è talmente grande, e piena di grasso, che l'orso non riesce neanche a ucciderla saltandole sopra il collo con entrambe le zampe, o mordendola al collo come farebbe di solito. Troppo spesso lo strato di grasso. Quindi, l'orso fa l'unica cosa che può: iniziare a mangiarla viva. L'agonia della foca è ancora impressa vividamente nella mia memoria. Con la barca, riusciamo ad avvicinarci a qualche metro dalla scena. Ormai l'orso ha cacciato, e le guide sanno che non lo infastidiremo con la nostra presenza. Siamo così vicini da sentire il rumore dei morsi delle fauci dell'orso nella carne della foca e il suono secco della carne che si strappa. Il soffiare di dolore della foca ad ogni morso, la sua lenta agonia, mi rimbomba ancora nelle orecchie. Lo sguardo di dolore della foca mi ricorda quanto sia dura la natura. L'orso mi guarda, e poi ricomincia a mangiare. Andrà avanti per ore. Siamo così vicini che l'aria presto si fa ferrosa: è l'odore acre del sangue, che ci riempie le narici e non si toglierà che qualche ora dopo questo "spettacolo". La caccia è avvenuta di notte, nel pieno del sole Artico, ma di dormire dopo queste ore non se ne parla...

Excellent document and caption of a raw story that is part of the animal world, but not only....... unfortunately. :-)

Shot and story really impressive, in smaller proportions I know what it means to attend those scenes of which man can and must only do as a spectator .. congratulations for the whole series!

If this image had been posted by a VIP of the forum today it would have an EP and 200 consents.
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
That will never be the case.
Patience, be content with my consent and my comment.
Sincere congratulations, this is nature photography ... not the artifacts made with the defuse in photoshop to make a subject stand out in an environment that does not exist :-D

Incredible testimony, very nice shot and expression of the bear. It is one shot among those who do not need creative artifices to hit the mark, but the image is already everything in itself. I guess you've struggled to choose from hundreds of shots, if not thousands, of shots taken.

At one point, I stopped shooting and simply sat in the bow of the ship, abandoning the camera. It was me, a polar bear and the Arctic sea, in the middle of the night with the sun high in the sky, and I think it was one of the greatest emotions of my life.

I got goose bumps. Thanks again Antolalto for the story and the photo
