Adults keep watch on street corners before children are allowed out. They are not looking for ghosts but for polar bears. People in Churchill call their town “the polar bear capital of the world”. Churchill is on the route that polar bears take when they migrate (定期迁栖). During the fall, about 200 polar bears wander through Churchill. The male bears are on their way to hunt seals on the shore of Hudson Bay, 35 miles east of Churchill. The females head for an open area 50 miles south of Churchill, where they have their cubs. It’s not surprising that some bears choose to stay in Churchill. Like the brown bears in U.S. national parks, polar bears will eat almost anything. They often enjoy a meal at the town dump in Churchill. They sniff around cabins and parked cars. Anything a polar bear wants, it usually gets. Polar bears are among the largest animals on land A full-grown male can weigh more than 1,600 pounds. Few people have been killed by polar bears, however. Those in the wild rarely attack humans if they are not bothered. The most popular way of getting rid of the bears in Churchill is to drive the animals out of town with horns, sirens, or the noise of harmless explosives. When the bears get too threatening, scientists may sometimes drug them, put them in cages, and fly them to open areas several hundred miles from Churchill. Some of the same bears always show up in Churchill again a week later. They have had to travel 30 miles a day to get there. 1. Polar bears spend time in Churchill every fall because __________.
