A gut-wrenching video taken on Canada’s Baffin Island shows an adult polar bear that looks like little more than a bag of bones covered by slack fur. The bear is pulling his body across an iceless emptiness, desperately seeking food. He said he wanted to film the horror of the once-majestic animal’s demise to show the dramatic effects of climate change. Nicklen said he hopes the images help affect human behavior so that the bear will not have died in vain. “This is what a starving bear looks like.”It’s a “soul-crushing scene that still haunts me,” Nicklen wrote in an Instagram post.
