Feeding Behavior of Polar Bears at Bowhead Whale Remains on Barter Island
This dataset consists of a single table of data collected from video of polar bears feeding at remains of subsistence harvested bowhead whales on Barter Island. The table includes focal observations of individual bears to record the type of whale tissue consumed (blubber, muscle, etc.) and the number of bites taken by bears from food items over periods of 30 seconds to 12 minutes.
