Comment on A rare polar bear showed up on the shores of Iceland. Police shot it
astropenguin5@lemmy.world 1 month agoA bit more context from reading the article
-
the bear was actively going through the trash of a woman’s summer house while she was there which is why it was reported
-
the Iceland environmental agency actively decided to not try and relocate it, likely due to how expensive it would be to take back to Greenland
-
the bear is also being studied for potential diseases/parasites, how healthy it was, body fat, etc. which is nice I guess
