Grizzly bears have stopped eating salmon in favour of elderberries after being forced to make a choice due to climate change. Warming temperatures meant that the berries are ripening earlier than usual, at exactly the same time as the freshwater streams on Alaska’s Kodiak Island are overflowing with sockeye salmon. 由于气候变化的影响,灰熊被迫做出艰难抉择,放弃鲑鱼改吃接骨木果。温暖的气候使得浆果成熟期提前,与此同时,阿拉斯加科迪亚克岛的淡水河流里也挤满了红鲑。 The island's brown bears typically feed first on salmon in early summer, followed by elderberries later in the season, in late August and September. 往年,岛上的棕熊在夏初先吃了鲑鱼,然后在八月末和九月吃接骨木果。 |
