A polar bear was seen south of the Saint Lawrence River in the Canadian region of Quebec on Saturday. Conservationists and police warned residents of Madeleine-Center, a village north of Gaspésie National Park, about a very unusual visitor and advised them to stay indoors.
Whether it is actually a polar bear has not been officially confirmed by researchers. They compare the paths of the monster and try to locate the monster at the moment. I saw a picture where the bear is clearly white. “In terms of color, it’s just the right color,” village mayor Joel Cote told CBC News. , but I’m no expert. ”In Canada, besides black and brown bears, there are also white bears.
Everyone is wondering how the polar bear could have ended up south in Madeline Center Village, where there is still so much snow at the moment. Swimming, on an ice floe? Even Canadians north of the Broad River never remember seeing a live specimen roaming their area.

He’s almost certain it’s a polar bear, says Dominique Berteau, a biologist at the University of Quebec. According to him, it could be a stray polar bear that was on its way from the cold east of Canada (Labrador) to the north. It is not surprising that the beast swam across such a wide river. He said they were great swimmers. They can cover a distance of 100 to 200 kilometers.”
The white predator, which is increasingly foraging south due to global warming, was caught in the garden of a house in the village of 2000 in the morning. The resident, paying attention to the barking of her dog, managed to photograph the huge beast. “No one has seen anything like this before,” an eyewitness told AFP. “People thought it was a joke.”
Police urged anyone who sees the animal not to go there themselves, but to call 911 immediately.
