Polar Bear of Bering Sea Cubs and dens on St Matthew Island
Observations by United States Revenue Marine officers over years place the polar bear’s range at St Matthew Island in the Bering Sea. Bears travel by ice, feed on seals and whales, and prey on fish. The largest reported bear, seen 1885 near Point Barrow, measured over twelve feet long with a seven inch skull. Eskimos value the meat but discard blubber, while burial customs protect heads and claws to avoid haunting the dead.
