They were born in a burrow dug in the snow, blind and weighing just over half a kilo, and did not go outside until spring. Their fights and chases seem like games, and they are, but they also work as training: this is how they learn to hunt and measure forces in one of the most demanding environments on the planet. The Barents Sea region is home to about 3,000 polar bears, one of the largest concentrations in the world, and is also one of the fastest-warming areas. Its closest relative is the brown bear, the same one that survives in the Cantabrian Mountains and in the Pyrenees. Two cousins and two worlds: one of beech forests, the other of drifting ice. --- [Cachorros de oso polar jugando en Svalbard, Noruega](https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=b878b774f61ed7ec40044eab9c6b4c578fbfdaf36f1f595e6f25cc75abdcf1cdJmltdHM9MTc4OTc3NjAwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=2cac6815-1c5c-666a-3216-7ea91d7b671a&u=a1L3NlYXJjaD9xPUNhY2hvcnJvcyBkZSBvc28gcG9sYXIganVnYW5kbyBlbiBTdmFsYmFyZCwgTm9ydWVnYSZGT1JNPQ&ntb=1&ref=truthdead.com) Dos cachorros de oso polar cruzan la nieve en Svalbard, el archipiélago noruego de glaciares y fiordos helados donde el Ártico se muestra sin adornos. Nacieron en una madriguera excavada en la nieve, ciegos y con poco más de medio kilo de peso, y no salieron al exterior hasta la primavera. Sus peleas y persecuciones parecen juego, y lo son, pero también funcionan como entrenamiento: así aprenden a cazar y a medir fuerzas en uno de los entornos más exigentes del planeta. La región del mar de Barents reúne unos 3.000 osos polares, una de las mayores concentraciones del mundo, y también es una de las zonas que se calienta más rápido. Su pariente más cercano es el oso pardo, el mismo que sobrevive en la cordillera Cantábrica y en el Pirineo. Dos primos y dos mundos: uno de hayedos, otro de hielo a la deriva. --- [Cuccioli di orso polare che giocano a Svalbard, Norvegia](https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=b878b774f61ed7ec40044eab9c6b4c578fbfdaf36f1f595e6f25cc75abdcf1cdJmltdHM9MTc4OTc3NjAwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=2cac6815-1c5c-666a-3216-7ea91d7b671a&u=a1L3NlYXJjaD9xPUNhY2hvcnJvcyBkZSBvc28gcG9sYXIganVnYW5kbyBlbiBTdmFsYmFyZCwgTm9ydWVnYSZGT1JNPQ&ntb=1&ref=truthdead.com) Due cuccioli di orso polare attraversano la neve nello Svalbard, l'arcipelago norvegese di ghiacciai e fiordi ghiacciati dove l'Artico è privo di ornamenti. Sono nati in una tana scavata nella neve, ciechi e con un peso di poco più di mezzo chilo, e non uscirono fino alla primavera. I loro combattimenti e inseguimenti sembrano giochi, e lo sono, ma funzionano anche come addestramento: è così che imparano a cacciare e misurare le forze in uno degli ambienti più impegnativi del pianeta. La regione del Mare di Barents ospita circa 3.000 orsi polari, una delle concentrazioni più grandi al mondo, ed è anche una delle aree che si riscalda più rapidamente. Il suo parente più prossimo è l'orso bruno, lo stesso che sopravvive nei Monti Cantabrici e nei Pirenei. Due cugini e due mondi: uno di foreste di faggio, l'altro di ghiaccio alla deriva. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/09/Oso-polar-cach-1.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/09/Oso-polar-cach-2.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/09/Oso-polar-cach-3.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/09/Oso-polar-cach-4.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/09/Oso-polar-cach-5.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/09/Oso-polar-cach-6.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/09/Oso-polar-cach-7.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/09/Oso-polar-cach-8.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/09/Oso-polar-cach-9.jpg) Polar bear cubs playing in Svalbard, Norway [Subscribe](#/portal/signup) SPONSORED [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2025/12/BCO.45716498-7f4c-4d25-9904-9cac0bf36e03-1.png)](#/portal/signup) ***The Mouth of Truth is a reader-supported publication.
