After several days at sea
the male bear finally makes landfall
drawn by pungent smells emanating from the island.
By the end of summer the bear has lost half his weight.
With the ice long gone
he is forced onto land in search of food.
There will be no easy meals on this island.
Walruses are the largest seals in the world.
Their weight over a tonne
and are armed with tusks a metre long.
Exhausted from his swim
the bear must regain his strength.
The next day a sea fog shrouds the island.
The walruses sense that they're in danger.
Using the fog as cover the bear approaches the herd.
