[新聞] 冰原大逃殺！公北極熊獵食同類 3母子狂奔求生

北極熊媽媽帶著2隻小熊逃跑為哪樁？有攝影師在北極旅遊中拍到特別畫面，1隻母北極熊帶著2隻小熊朝大船跑來，船上一行人正興奮時，才發現後追著1頭成年公北極熊，準備要吃掉小熊，4隻北極熊在崎嶇的碎冰與海面上追逐，上演你追我逃的戲碼。

來自英國的導遊保羅戈斯坦（Paul Goldstein），本身也是個攝影好手，他搭上俄羅斯的觀光破冰船，與其他100名觀光客準備來趟難忘的北極冰海之旅。根據《每日郵報》報導，保羅第一眼看到母熊帶著2隻約18個月的幼熊時，並未發現還有第4隻熊在後虎視眈眈。

直到母熊帶著2隻小熊朝船邊直線而來，保羅才發現，遠處的大塊碎冰後，突然冒出個黑色影子，仔細一看是隻大公熊。眼看母熊又要跑走，公熊只好從藏匿處奔出。根據圖片所示與文字描述，那是隻成年公熊，且臉上有明顯傷痕，代表曾經過激烈打鬥而存活下來。

保羅研判，公熊要獵殺小熊，有可能是急於儲存冬眠所需的脂肪；而看到照片後，也有些網友回應，許多雄性生物都會殺死幼仔，好讓雌性願意再度交配。根據文獻資料顯示，因全球暖化導致融冰，活動面積與食物減少，成年北極熊的確會獵殺幼雄來進食，也曾發現公北極熊獵殺成年母熊來吃的情況，但公北極熊會否因單純想交配而獵殺小熊，則還需進一步證實。

為了逃避追殺，母熊與小熊們停停走走很多次，還直接穿過破冰船的船底，在逃亡的中途，其中一幼熊還不時直立回頭觀看；最後公北極熊因體型龐大，動作較慢，熊媽媽與小熊們終於成功逃過追殺。

這件謀殺案,應該是件模仿犯的罪案
因為這是十年內看到了第三次了
最早的犯熊不知是哪隻
