[www.keralites.net] Polar Bears Resorting to Cannibalism

Polar Bears Resorting to Cannibalism

A sad fate has indeed fallen upon polar bears: these beautiful, majestic creatures are being forced to resort to cannibalism, a disturbing fact for a species that normally does not feast on its own cubs.

In July 2010, photojournalist Jenny E. Ross witnessed a polar bear killing a cub with a few sharp bites to its head. The bear then proceeded to consume the young cub. When the predator bear spotted a nearby boat, he became very protective of his meal. This eyewitness account was published in a BBC News account of the incident.

While cannibalism isn't completely unheard of among polar bears, instances of its occurrence have been on the rise over the last few years, due to global warming and climate changes causing the sea ice to melt, trapping the great beasts on land for extended periods of time with no access to food. Under normal circumstances, polar bears live off of seals, which they hunt by traveling over the iced-over Hudson Bay. As a direct result of global warming, the Arctic sea ice has been receding during the summer months, taking much longer to freeze over again than it used to.

With no way to hunt seals to keep their bodies nourished, polar bears are being forced to look for alternative sources of food. Sadly, this means turning on their own kind as well as scavenging for human garbage, food scraps, seabirds, and seabird eggs.

However, living off humans' scraps and trash cannot sustain a polar bear, which is why some are resorting to turning on each other.

Typically, adult male polar bears go after young cubs, as these are easy prey. A few sharp bites to the skull kill the cub; the male then drags the carcass off in order to feed.

The only other time cannibalism has been known to take place among polar bears is when mother bears suspect their cubs are sick. Killing and eating another polar bear is considered unusual behavior but is, sadly, now becoming more common.

With an already rapidly decreasing population, cannibalism among polar bears could prove especially tragic for the species. Being forced to eat their own kind prevents population regrowth, which means the polar bears will continue to die out at an increasing rate.

The future of polar bears is looking bleak, if global warming continues and temperatures continue to rise at the rate they have been, causing polar bears to drown, starve, and even eat their own.

It is a pity that Ms.Renjini haridas has deteriorated to such a cheap level. She claims that this is her most famous and best -ever moment in her life . Those who have watched the Kannur programme know that she was over acting her presence with howling and "barking" like a dog. She is a disgrace to Kerala women folk. She is always in the "criticism" front for her akward dress and "killing" both English and Malayalam languages. She is under a false belief that she is the force and strength for the running of the Asianet programme "Idea Star Singer" which has promoted her to the status of an Anchor Girl. In that programme also she interferes and makes un-necessary comments an anchor is not supposed to do. Shri. Jagathy Sreekumar made this point clear in one of the Finale programmes of " idea star singer'. 90% of Malayalees hate her and regard her worse than a 3rd rate porn actress. She is feminine above her neck and masculine below that. It is a wonder that no feminist leaders of Kerala have not yet come forward to control her.

രഞ്ജിനി മറഡോണയുടെ പുതിയ കാമുകി!!

ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ ദൈവം ഡീഗോ മറഡോണയ്‌ക്കൊപ്പം നൃത്തമാടുമ്പോള്‍ രഞ്ജിനി ഹരിദാസ് കരുതിയിരിക്കില്ല തന്റെ പ്രശസ്തി അങ്ങ് ലാറ്റിനമേരിയ്ക്ക വരെ പരക്കുമെന്ന്. അതേ നമ്മുടെ രഞ്ജിനി ഹരിദാസിനെ ഡീഗോയുടെ പുതിയ കാമുകിയെന്ന നിലയ്ക്കാണ്് ലാറ്റിനമേരിക്കന്‍ മാധ്യമങ്ങള്‍ അവതരിപ്പിയ്ക്കുന്നത്.

മറഡോണ വത്ത് ന്യൂ ലവ് എന്നാണ് പെറുവിലെ ട്രോമെ പത്രത്തിന്റെ വെബ്‌സൈറ്റില്‍ വാര്‍ത്ത നല്‍കിയിരിക്കുന്നത് തന്നെ. അര്‍ജന്റീനയിലെ ഒട്ടേറെ പത്രങ്ങളും വെബ്‌സൈറ്റുകളും ഈ രീതിയിലാണ് വാര്‍ത്ത നല്‍കിയത്. രഞ്ജിനിയുടെ ക്ലോസ് അപ്പ് ചിത്രവും മറഡോണയ്‌ക്കൊപ്പം നൃത്തമാടുന്ന രഞ്ജിനിയുടെ ചിത്രങ്ങളും വന്‍പ്രധാന്യത്തോടെ തന്നെ മാധ്യമങ്ങള്‍ നല്‍കിയിട്ടുമുണ്ട്.

നാല്‍പതിനായിരത്തോളം കാണികള്‍ തിങ്ങിനിറഞ്ഞ സ്‌റ്റേഡിയത്തില്‍ ഇരുവരുടെയും പ്രകടനം തകര്‍പ്പനായിരുന്നുവെന്നും ഇന്ത്യന്‍ മാധ്യമങ്ങള്‍ ഇതിന് വന്‍ പ്രാധാന്യം നല്‍കിയെന്നും ട്രോമെ എഴുതുന്നു.

എന്നാല്‍ തന്നെച്ചേര്‍ത്ത് ഗോസിപ്പ് വന്നത് മാറഡോണയുടെ ഗതികേടാണെന്നാണ് രഞ്ജിനി ഹരിദാസിന്റെ പ്രതികരണം. അഞ്ച് മാസം ഗര്‍ഭിണിയായ കാമുകി കാമുകി വെറോണിക്ക ഒഡേയയുമായുള്ള ബന്ധം മാറഡോണ പിരിയുകയാണെന്ന് സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്ന ചില മാധ്യമങ്ങള്‍, അതുമായി കൂട്ടിച്ചേര്‍്ത്താണ് മഡോണ-രഞ്ജിനി കൂടിക്കാഴ്ചയെ വച്ച് വാര്‍ത്ത പടച്ചുവിട്ടിരിയ്ക്കുന്നത്. വെറോണിക്കയുടെ ചിത്രം കണ്ണൂരിലെ ഹോട്ടലില്‍ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ചത് മലയാള മാധ്യമങ്ങള്‍ പ്രാധാന്യത്തോടെ പ്രസിദ്ധീകരിച്ചിരുന്നു.

മാറഡോണയുടെ കണ്ണൂര്‍ സന്ദര്‍ശനത്തില്‍ അദ്ദേഹത്തെ കീഴടക്കിയത് സുന്ദരിയായ ഈ ടി.വി. അവതാരകയാണെന്നും മാധ്യമങ്ങള്‍ എഴുതിപ്പിടിപ്പിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. മാറഡോണയുടെ ഇന്ത്യന്‍ സന്ദര്‍ശനവും പിറന്നാള്‍ ആഘോഷവും മിക്കവാറും ലാറ്റിനമേരിക്കന്‍ പത്രങ്ങളും വലിയ പ്രാധാന്യത്തോടെയാണ് പ്രസിദ്ധീകരിച്ചത്. ഇതോടൊപ്പം സ്‌റ്റേജില്‍ രഞ്ജിനിക്കൊപ്പം മാറഡോണ നൃത്തം ചെയ്യുന്ന വീഡിയോകളും പല വെബ്‌സൈറ്റുകളും പോസ്റ്റ് ചെയ്തിട്ടുണ്ട്.
