A polar bear was spotted south of the Saint-Laurence River in Canada’s Quebec region on Saturday. Conservationists and the police have warned the people of Madeleine-Centre, north of the Gaspésie National Park, about the highly unusual visitor. Authorities advise people to stay indoors.
By NU.nl/ANPThe white predator, which is increasingly hunting south for food due to global warming, was caught in the yard of a home in the morning after a dog was beaten. “No one has ever seen this here,” an eyewitness in the village of 2,000 told the French news agency AFP† “People thought it was a joke.”
Everyone wonders how the polar bear ended up in Madeleine-Centre, where there is still a lot of snow at the moment. “Swimming, on an ice floe?” Even the Canadians north of the Broad River can’t recall ever seeing a live specimen roaming around.
