POLAR BEAR WASHED UP ON SCOTTISH BEACH!
In the early hours of this morning, a polar bear has been found washed up on Scotland's Isle of Mule beach. The polar bear, found by RSPB officer Dave Sexton when conducting a wildlife survey, was found on the beach in the early hours of this morning. The officer left the bear to find help, returning an hour later to find that the beast was no longer there.
In an interview with Sexton after this event he said: "At first I felt sure it was dead, but then I realised it was still breathing. Scarily, it opened its eyes as we got near it, but didn’t show any other signs of moving. We grabbed a few photos and ran off to get help." having returned to find the animal was no longer there Dave added: "Having spent many years protecting threatened wildlife, I just hope this polar bear is going to be ok."
Mule's police force, arctic-marine-mammal experts and even local residence have been out looking for the missing bear after it is believed that the same ice floe that brought him to the beach swept him away again. Experts have warned people not to approach the animal if he is seen as he may be hungry from his long journey and prone to attacking.
Scientists working closely on the case have said that the lower-than-average sea temperatures have lead to the ice floe to remain frozen longer than usual, aiding the polar bear in his quest. It has also been speculated that the bear travelled from one of the nearest inhabited areas, Greenland and the Svalbard archipelago.
Police have asked that if you see the distressed polar bear, or any other animal, that you call the Scottish animal help line on 03000 999 999. The line is open from 7am to 9pm and all calls are confidential and can be made anonymously if necessary.
