Morning Starters: Summer 2 - Human Animal Conflict
Did You Know?
Each autumn, as Hudson Bay’s sea ice melts, polar bears migrate to Churchill, Manitoba, seeking food. They often scavenge in town, leading to potential human encounters. To manage this, authorities use a ‘polar bear jail’ to temporarily hold bears until they can be safely released. This unique situation has fostered a thriving tourism industry, attracting visitors eager to observe polar bears up close.
