Polar bear wanders into home on Alaska's North Slope

Ruby Kaleak's part-time job on polar bear patrol in the village of Kaktovik, Alaska, usually means chasing the animals back to the Beaufort Sea. But she wasn't expecting to shoo one of the biggest bears she's ever seen out of a house last week.

She was on duty Friday in the village of 300 people when a call came over the radio that a bear was inside a doorway, Kaleak heard two whispered words: "Qanitchaq, nanuq," which in Inupiat means "arctic entryway, polar bear,"

That's where she saw a shadow in the home's entryway that made her pause. Then, the head of a big polar bear popped up.
"I was shocked. It was humongous," Kaleak said. "Just the neck and head was half the size of me, and I'm 5 (feet) 2 (inches)."
The bear was feasting on a drum of seal oil in the entryway of 81-year-old Betty Brower's home
Brower was home alone and crawled to the radio to call the bear patrol.

Polar bears' primary habitat is sea ice, where they hunt for seals and other prey. As ice has receded to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food, according to biologists with the U.S. Geological Survey.

"There is nothing for them to eat out there."

I look forward to seeing it when you can. : )

A bear is one thing I would not want to find myself face to face with.
