In 1997, researchers estimated that an additional 200 polar bears should be added to the Western Hudson Bay population estimate because this area fell outside the ‘mark-recapture’ zone, as in Wapusk National Park. That could mean that we actually have about 1000-1100 bears in this population as opposed to 900-935 currently listed…
Still, it makes you wonder how it took 40 years to ‘discover’ it, though…
