There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

An adult Polar bear has just killed White-Beaked Dolphin on Svalbard. This is a behaviour no scientist has ever experienced on Svalbard before. 

White-Beaked Dolphins usually only visit Svalbard in the summer months, and they have never been seen so far north, so early during spring before.

Scientist did this amazing discovery in april 2014, and later during the summer the scientist got in tips about several other carcasses of white-beaked dolphins. 

Its asumed that they catch the Dolphins on the sea-ice. A white-beaked dolphin doesn`t make much of a meal for a polar bear. And seals will still be their highest priored prey, but they can make a big difference for an individual during the toughest months of the year.

The Polar bear stading next to its prey, and the hole in the ice where it probably made the kill.
