A camera trap located on Cape Zhelaniya Novaya Zemlya (Russian Arctic National Park) captured a fight between two polar bears over a prey - a dead walrus, as reported to EcoTourism EXPERT in the press service of the park.

The camera trap worked in the mode of switching to video shooting at the moment of movement, which is why it managed to get such a unique video.

It is also reported that this month in the South cluster of the Park, in the Oran Islands, with the support of the World Wildlife Fund, 15 new camera traps will be installed at once to observe Atlantic walruses in a rookery.

At the same time, in the Northern cluster of the Park, on the Franz Josef Land archipelago, the expedition of the Institute of Ecology and Evolution named after Alexei Severtsov, with the support of Rosneft, will also deliver camera traps to the islands where there are also walrus rookeries.

At the moment, 4 camera traps have been installed on Cape Zhelaniya.

Last season they photographed the nesting of the Red Book species of birds - the black goose. The camera traps have also helped to discover a new bird species for the northern part of Novaya Zemlya - the whinchat.
