Seela is very tired

and a meter cannot swim more.

But to leave the water is not anything easy.

To climb for the rock is even more arduous

that to crawl for a floe.

They will have to get up

about 900 kgs of fat...

... being only been worth of the force

of their fins.

Perhaps they should have eaten

less clams.

The flock would not maybe sleep

so placidly...

... if he/she knew who arrived at the island

before them.

The male bear.

And where there is a bear...

He is a fox of the place,

with summery camouflage.

In this rocky island,

he/she doesn't need to conform to with leftovers.

There are more arao pigeons

of those that he/she can eat.

Not they have escape.

And they are still very young to fly.

Caught between the bear and the wall...

... a dad arao indicates them

that they make something extraordinary.

The vote of trust inspires to jump

to the whole flock.

A breeding takes refuge in the sea.

Other, I joust on time,

on a solitary raft of ice.

Nanu has swimed during days...

... and it is so tired that almost he/she drowns.

This minuscule place of rest

it has saved him/her the life.

In the rocky island,

the summery sun generates a wave of heat.

The temperature overcomes

the freezing level.

The heat provokes

an infuriating itch...

... and when something chops us, we should

to scratch us, it doesn't care where neither how.

Seela feels also bothersome...

... and he/she wants to be liberated of their family,

although it is for a while.

The tusks are not prepared

to climb mountains...

... but she attempts it.

The aunt sees that Seela goes away

for their bill...

... and it leaves in their search...

... to all the speed

that it allows him/her their fat.

All of a sudden, Seela disappears.

The aunt the flame,

but he/she doesn't obtain answer.

The silence of Seela is very strange.

Their trip placed it

in a terrible situation.

It tripped and it was caught

in a narrow edge.

And somebody discovered it.

The polar bear approaches to attack...

... and Seela decides

for a desperate act.

Adolorida will be...

... but live.

Now he/she hurries to notice him/her

to the other ones.

The aunt is last o'clock in leaving the island.

The mother of Seela finds it...

... and the aunt meets with them.

The bear waits his opportunity.

Seela and their family retire

to another part of the rocky island.

Next to the gathered other flocks

here for the arctic ice in extinction.

The new situation has left

to many beached and vulnerable...

... and to other, desperate and

hungry.

Nanu arrives at the beach of the island

rocky...

... after a long week in the sea.

A whole day ago

that he/she smells preys in the wind.
