Cameras fitted to the necks of 12 Arctic grizzly bears are giving scientists a rare look at how the animals feed, roam and survive during the brief summer on Alaska’s North Slope after emerging from hibernation, which lasts around eight months each year. Recording short clips every few minutes between May and October 2025, researchers hope to learn how the bears build enough fat for the long winter, documenting diets that include caribou, birds, eggs, ground squirrels, vegetation and vast quantities of berries. #Arctic #GrizzlyBears #Wildlife #Alaska #Nature #Science
