A hungry bear cub holds onto a towering whale bone in Alaska. The young bear and its sibling climb on a bowhead whale bone which has been left out by local Alaskan Inupiat hunters. The 75-ton whales are sacred to Inupiat people, who cook and eat three per year, leaving the bones in a designated place for the polar bears to finish off the scraps of meat stuck to the bones.
