Class Response: "The Arctic Tale"

We watched a movie entitled "The Arctic Tale" as a part of the Science curriculum. It was about polar bears and walruses in the Arctic, fighting for survival. Nani's mother was looking out for her two children--Nani, and Nani's brother. Polar bears actually eat walruses. So on the walruses' part , life isn't exactly easy either. On top of this, global warming is melting the polar ice caps, which is home to the polar bears ( a currently endangered species). It was shocking that a male polar bear would actually attack the cubs. Every time a polar bear saw a walrus, they would go crazy in their search of food. It was sad when Nani's brother died of starvation. As a result of this, the mother had to scare Nani away because if she didn't they would both starve to death. This movie was very informative because not only does it show the adverse effects of global warming, but it also shows us how far animals can go to survive. They basically go with their first instinct. This is exactly what the walruses and the polar bears do in "The Arctic Tale"
