Polar bears crowd Russian village in search for food(1/2)

Dozens of polar bears have crowded a village in Russia's far east in search for food, forcing public events to be canceled and humans to shelter inside. About 60 polar bears descended on Ryrkaypiy in Russia's remote Chukotka region, Tatyana Minenko, the head of the village's "bear patrol" told Russian state news agency RIA Novosti. The polar bears are eating the carcasses of walruses that have remained on the village's shores since the fall, the Russian branch of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) said Thursday in a statement.
