With the keenest of senses, he will travel countless miles of solid ice and sea for his prey – which usually consists of seals, walrus, whale carcass, or man. With the patience of Job, he will suffer and starve in the dark frigid environment plodding on and on until he catches a scent, an opportunity to feed.”
