as Porter’s scientists we don’t have that many opportunities to see polar
that many opportunities to see polar
that many opportunities to see polar bears out in their natural habitat but
bears out in their natural habitat but
bears out in their natural habitat but we’re trying to bring in much more
we’re trying to bring in much more
we’re trying to bring in much more fine-grain and in detail information
fine-grain and in detail information
fine-grain and in detail information about how polar bears are using these
about how polar bears are using these
about how polar bears are using these habitats you can see her swimming in the
habitats you can see her swimming in the
habitats you can see her swimming in the water and at one point you see a seal
water and at one point you see a seal
water and at one point you see a seal come into the picture which is certainly
come into the picture which is certainly
come into the picture which is certainly exciting and she appears to be hunting
exciting and she appears to be hunting
exciting and she appears to be hunting it’s pretty neat to get the opportunity
it’s pretty neat to get the opportunity
it’s pretty neat to get the opportunity to see what these bears are seeing
to see what these bears are seeing
to see what these bears are seeing underwater and what type of activity is
underwater and what type of activity is
underwater and what type of activity is under there you put out these collars
under there you put out these collars
under there you put out these collars this past spring we tried putting out to
this past spring we tried putting out to
this past spring we tried putting out to different callers last year and they
different callers last year and they
different callers last year and they designed these cameras specifically for
designed these cameras specifically for
designed these cameras specifically for use on polar bears on the sea ice and so
use on polar bears on the sea ice and so
use on polar bears on the sea ice and so our main objective so far was just to
our main objective so far was just to
our main objective so far was just to make sure that they actually worked and
make sure that they actually worked and
make sure that they actually worked and provided us useful data you know what
provided us useful data you know what
provided us useful data you know what was probably most exciting for me is
was probably most exciting for me is
was probably most exciting for me is just the fact that I was successful and
just the fact that I was successful and
just the fact that I was successful and we can start to look into all these
we can start to look into all these
we can start to look into all these different questions that we have and
different questions that we have and
different questions that we have and start to get a much better understanding
start to get a much better understanding
start to get a much better understanding of how these animals are using their
of how these animals are using their
of how these animals are using their habitat but with declining sea ice
habitat but with declining sea ice
habitat but with declining sea ice what’s not known is they’re able to
what’s not known is they’re able to
what’s not known is they’re able to catch seals on the sea ice declines or
catch seals on the sea ice declines or
catch seals on the sea ice declines or if they’re trying to conserve their
if they’re trying to conserve their
if they’re trying to conserve their energy and minimize movement patterns
energy and minimize movement patterns
energy and minimize movement patterns and so we want to get a better
and so we want to get a better
and so we want to get a better understanding of how those barriers are
understanding of how those barriers are
understanding of how those barriers are differing both behaviorally and
differing both behaviorally and
differing both behaviorally and energetically and what the potential
energetically and what the potential
energetically and what the potential implications of those might be
