#1 Another possibility: One possibility is that there are just more bears around in general. Their numbers have increased steadily over the last 25 years, perhaps to historic highs, and it is thought that about 2,000 polar bears may now live in the Beaufort Sea area.

#5 "During 24 years of research on polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea region of northern Alaska and 34 years in northwestern Canada, we have not seen other incidents of polar bears stalking, killing and eating other polar bears," the scientists said.

Gee, ya think meebe the reason why scientists study stuff is to learn something new that they've never seen before. Does the fact that we've never sen this in 34 years of studying bears mean that: a) we didn't see that many bears to make ironclad generalizations or b) it's the end of polar bear life as we know it.
