'Why! Now he won't be able to hunt unnoticed,' a World Wildlife Fund employee said.
Video shared on social media shows a lumbering polar bear whose back had been branded with"T-34," the name of an old Soviet Union tank.The video was posted to Facebook on December 1 by Sergey Kavry, a World Wildlife Fund employee who lives in the remote Russian region.In the comments, Kavry said he obtained the video via WhatsApp from indigenous minorities in Chukotka, in Russia's far east, though it is not clear from the video where it was filmed.
"Anatoly Kochnev, a senior researcher at the Russian Academy of Sciences, told Russian state news agency RIA Novosti that, while the black paint is likely to wash off, the polar bear might find it difficult in the meantime to use its coat as camouflage while hunting.It's not known why the animal was painted. Kochnev said it was probably the work of"pranksters."Polar bears have been forced to travel farther to find food, as sea ice continues to melt due to climate change.
