For the first time a polar bear was seen feasting on a white- beaked dolphins body in Svalbard.
The dolphins were generally trapped from the oval-shaped holes that they had kept open to breath.
Earlier polar bears were not recorded taking or eating dolphins, Aars told Live Science in an email.

We were not so surprised of bears being able to take dolphins, known the dolphins were there.
Similar dolphin entrapment has been recorded off the coast of Newfoundland as reported in studies in 1957 and 1996.
Aars said, With longer periods without sea ice, bears will look for other food sources.
Adult male polar bears can weigh 775 to 1,300 lbs.
(350 to 590 kg), and female polar bears can weigh around 330 to 650 lbs.
(150 to 295 kg).
