The Beluga we saw last summer had claw marks on its back, so them too, they're opportunist feeders meaning they'll eat whatever they can get their claws on. Although there have been some found recently with seaweed in their stomachs, but these were starving bears.<BR/> The Northern lights aren't that dramatic up here, apparently they're best viewed around the 60 th parrealell. They are active here, but the only color we've ever seen is green.<BR/> We're still strugglinf through our problems.Curtis Groomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13062243567952569272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18105028.post-65106193962063829412007-02-19T23:06:00.000-07:002007-02-19T23:06:00.000-07:00Oh my, a wolf, you say.

Couldn't resist!!<BR/><BR/>That's fascinating how some of the polar bear population is doing well, while others are dwindling. It always seems that humans are slow to pick up on the animal kingdom and then always try to fix things at the last moment.<BR/><BR/>Do polar bears only eat fish or seals? What kind of a diet do they prefer? I hope they never get a yearning for humans, but have heard if they do, they will be very dangerous to have in the vincinity.<BR/><BR/>It seemed very strange coming out of work this evening - the temperature had risen to above freezing and it is supposed to stay that way overnight. I won't be sad to see the ice and snow melt and am really looking forward to spring.<BR/><BR/>I watched CBC the other night and they had some kind of experts on who are studying the Northern Lights. It was quite fascinating to see how they dance and move across the sky. I would think you have an ideal position to see them in their full glory. Do you still whistle when you see them in the sky? I had the opportunity to view them when we visited Winnipeg, but it stayed light so long, (in July), the viewing wasn't the best.<BR/><BR/>I hope with each new day that things are improving for you and your family. I must say you have some of us wondering, but I won't press you for any details, especially in this medium.<BR/><BR/>I wish you well. Don't forget that Tuesday (tomorrow) is Pancake Day.
